cisco trunking off

I have a port on a 4507 switch which is up and it had trunking on it. I used the command:

"no switchport trunk allowed" and "no switchport mode". basically Im trying to get it to be a normal access port and assign it to a vlan and get it offf trunking mode. I also used "switchport access vlan 100" which is whre I want it to be.

So the result in a "show vlan" looks like I got it to vlan 100, but instead of saying Gi5/1 it says Po5? Whats going on? Thanks.

vlan name status ports
100 outside firewall active Gi4/40, Gi4/41, Gi4/42, Po5

PO stands for port channel group - etherchanel using either open protocol lacp or cisco protocol pacp

your output states that vlan 100 has po5 port group as a member + all other physical interfaces gi4/40 fi4/41 gi4/42

do that

show interface status | include Po

also check that

so these are port channel now also - gi4/40 fi4/41 gi4/42 ?

How do I remove Po5 and just make it a regular access port so it will just say gi5/1 when I see vlan 100?

Don Johnston

Before we go throwing config commands around, post the output of a "show ether summ" and "show run int g5/1"

dallensworth

g5/1 and Po5 are not the same thing. You'll want your port to look something like the following:

interface GigabitEthernet5/1
switchport access vlan 100
switchport mode access

If your wanting to look at the Po5 that would look something like the following:

interface Port-channel5
description Binds multiple ports together
switchport
switchport access vlan 100

If you provide the "sho run int g5/1" as donjohnston mentions above one of us can help further.

Here are the commands you requested. My goal is to simply have (if possible) g5/1 as a regular interface switchport access vlan 100 so then all 4 ports on vlan 100 will be the same, but the Po5 is something I do not understand and a previous comment above said that they are all port group memebers now???

#show run int g5/1
