Understanding Access VLANs

Note
If you assign an access VLAN that is also a primary VLAN for a private VLAN, all access ports with
that access VLAN will also receive all the broadcast traffic for the primary VLAN in the private VLAN
mode.
When you configure a port in access mode, you can specify which VLAN will carry the traffic for that
interface. If you do not configure the VLAN for a port in access mode, or an access port, the interface
carries traffic for the default VLAN (VLAN1).
You can change the access port membership in a VLAN by specifying the new VLAN. You must create
the VLAN before you can assign it as an access VLAN for an access port. If you change the access
VLAN on an access port to a VLAN that is not yet created, the system will shut that access port down.
If an access port receives a packet with an 802.1Q tag in the header other than the access VLAN value,
that port drops the packet without learning its MAC source address.

Understanding the Native VLAN ID for Trunk Ports

Note
Native VLAN ID numbers must match on both ends of the trunk.
