Dell(conf)#
switchport
Place an interface in Layer 2 mode.
Syntax
switchport [[backup interface {interface | port-channel number}] | mode
private-vlan {host | promisucous | trunk}]
To remove an interface from Layer 2 mode and place it in Layer 3 mode, enter the no switchport command. If
a switchport backup interface is configured, first remove the backup configuration. To remove a switchport
backup interface, enter the no switchport backup interface command.
Parameters
backup (OPTIONAL) Use this option to configure a redundant Layer 2 link without using
Spanning Tree. The keyword backup configures a backup port so that if the primary
port fails, the backup port changes to the up state. If the primary later comes up, it
becomes the backup.
interface interface (OPTIONAL) Enter any of the following keywords and the interface information:
• For a 10-Gigabit Ethernet interface, enter the keyword TenGigabitEthernet
then the slot/port/subport information.
• For a 40-Gigabit Ethernet interface, enter the keyword fortyGigE then the slot/
port information.
port-channel (OPTIONAL) Enter the keywords port-channel if the backup port is a static or
dynamic port channel.
mode (OPTIONAL) Enter the keyword mode to set the interface mode.
private-vlan (OPTIONAL) Enter the keywords private-vlan to set the interface mode to private
VLAN mode.
host (OPTIONAL) Enter the keyword host to set the private VLAN interface to host mode.
promiscuous (OPTIONAL) Enter the keyword promiscuous to set the private VLAN interface to
promiscuous mode.
trunk (OPTIONAL) Enter the keyword trunk to set the private VLAN interface to trunk mode.
Defaults Disabled — interface is in Layer 3 mode.
