Dell Networking SmartFabric OS10: How to change a switchport to Access Mode using Console Command Line

Instructions:  

1. Open the CLI using the console or management IP for your S-series switch. 
2. Log in to the privileged exec mode using your management credentials. 
3. To verify existing port modes and VLAN membership, use the command below and then press enter.

   show interface status

4. To modify the switch configuration, run the command below to edit the switch configuration then press enter.

   configure terminal

5. To select the switchports, use the command below where X is the physical port number then press enter.

   interface ethernet 1/1/X

6. To change a range of switchports, use the command below followed by the switchport numbers to be added. For consecutive ports, use a hyphen. For nonconsecutive ranges, use a comma. Consecutive and nonconsecutive ranges can be combined if a bulk change is required.

   interface range ethernet

Example:

• Consecutive range of ports 14 through 15 would be:

  interface range ethernet 1/1/14-1/1/15.

• Nonconsecutive range of ports 3,10,19 would be:

  interface range ethernet 3,10,19.

• A mix of consecutive and nonconsecutive would-be:

  interface range ethernet 1/1/3, 1/1/14-1/1/15.

7. To change the selected switchports to access mode, use the command below, where X is the VLAN number.

   switchport access vlan X

8. To back out of the privileged exec mode, type End then press enter.
9. To verify the changes, rerun the command:

   show interface status

10. Once the changes are validated, use the following command to save the changes to the startup configuration:

    write memory

    
    Then press enter.
