A hybrid Ethernet port allows the combination of network and access modes of operation on a per-VLAN basis and must be configured for either dot1q or qinq encapsulation.
A hybrid mode port must use dot1q encapsulation to be configured as a network IP interface. Attempting to specify a qinq-encapsulated hybrid port as the port of a network interface is blocked.
Once a port has been configured for hybrid mode, multiple services may be configured on the port.
Use the following basic CLI syntax to configure hybrid mode port parameters.
port port-id
mode {hybrid}
encap-type {dot1q | qinq}
The following CLI syntax shows an example of configuring a hybrid port for access mode.
config# port 1/1/5
config>port# description ‟hybrid Ethernet port”
config>port# ethernet
config>port>ethernet# mode hybrid
config>port>ethernet# encap-type dot1q
config>port>ethernet# exit
config>port# no shutdown
Use the config port info command to display port configuration information.
