Chapter 7 Configuring LAN Ports for Layer 2 Switching
Understanding How Layer 2 Switching Works
Encapsulation Types
lists the Ethernet trunk encapsulation types.
The trunking mode, the trunk encapsulation type, and the hardware capabilities of the two connected
LAN ports determine whether a link becomes an ISL or 802.1Q trunk.
LAN ports determine whether a link becomes an ISL or 802.1Q trunk.
Layer 2 LAN Port Modes
lists the Layer 2 LAN port modes and describes how they function on LAN ports.

Ethernet Trunk Encapsulation Types
Encapsulation
Function
switchport trunk encapsulation isl
Specifies ISL encapsulation on the trunk link.
Note
10-Gigabit Ethernet ports do not support
ISL encapsulation.
ISL encapsulation.
switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
Specifies 802.1Q encapsulation on the trunk link.
switchport trunk encapsulation negotiate
Specifies that the LAN port negotiate with the
neighboring LAN port to become an ISL
(preferred) or 802.1Q trunk, depending on the
configuration and capabilities of the neighboring
LAN port.

Layer 2 LAN Port Modes
Mode
Function
switchport mode access
Puts the LAN port into permanent nontrunking mode and negotiates to convert the
link into a nontrunk link. The LAN port becomes a nontrunk port even if the
neighboring LAN port does not agree to the change.
link into a nontrunk link. The LAN port becomes a nontrunk port even if the
neighboring LAN port does not agree to the change.
switchport mode dynamic desirable
Makes the LAN port actively attempt to convert the link to a trunk link. The LAN
port becomes a trunk port if the neighboring LAN port is set to trunk, desirable, or
auto mode. This is the default mode for all LAN ports.

auto mode. This is the default mode for all LAN ports.
switchport mode dynamic auto
Makes the LAN port willing to convert the link to a trunk link. The LAN port
becomes a trunk port if the neighboring LAN port is set to trunk or desirable mode.

switchport nonegotiate
Puts the LAN port into permanent trunking mode but prevents the port from
generating DTP frames. You must configure the neighboring port manually as a
trunk port to establish a trunk link.
