Services are configured on access ports used for customer-facing traffic. If a Service Access Point (SAP) is to be configured on a port, it must be configured for access mode.
When a port is configured for access mode, the appropriate encapsulation type can be specified to distinguish the services on the port. Once a port has been configured for access mode, multiple services may be configured on the port.
Use the following basic CLI syntax to configure Ethernet access mode port parameters
port port-id
mode {access}
encap-type {dot1q | null | qinq}
The following CLI syntax shows an example of configuring an Ethernet port for access mode.
config# port 1/1/2
config>port# description "Ethernet access port"
config>port# ethernet
config>port>ethernet# mode access
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.
