Configuring a Trunk Port

          The Enterprise Edition Software, Cisco IOS Release 11.2(8)SA6, does not support trunk negotiation via the Dynamic   Trunk Protocol (DTP), formerly known as Dynamic ISL (DISL). If you are connecting a trunk port to a Catalyst 5000 switch or other DTP device, use the non-negotiate option on the DTP-capable device to configure the switch port to not generate DTP frames.

This example shows how to configure a port as a trunk, verify the trunk configuration, and save the change to the startup configuration file:

Switch# configure terminal

Enter configuration commands, one per line.  End with CNTL/Z.

Switch(config)# interface fa0/1

Switch(config-if)# switchport mode trunk

Switch(config-if)# switchport trunk encapsulation isl

Switch(config-if)# end

Switch# show interface fa0/1 switchport
