Configuring Ports
Both Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet ports can be set to access or trunk mode. By default, a port is in access
mode and carries traffic only for the VLAN to which it is assigned. In trunk mode, a port can carry traffic for
multiple VLANs.
For a trunk port, specify whether the port will carry traffic for all VLANs configured on the controller or for
specific VLANs. You can also specify the native VLAN for the port. A trunk port uses 802.1q tags to mark frames
for specific VLANs, However, frames on a native VLAN are not tagged.
