Configure Switch port from Access mode to Trunk

hi,

i need to add an additional VLAN in the FW "inside" interface to a switch. but currently the switch is configured to a single VLAN 30 and will need to configure as trunk.

i only have IPsec VPN via internet to this remote site using VLAN 30 on the "inside".

my question is, can i configure the switch port from access to trunk? note this is a 3850 switch so it's automatic using 802.1Q.

i know there will a short pause but remote SSH session will resume (i hope). should i use the "reload in x" in the switch just in case?

also good thing secondary FW is currently "active" so i can configure trunk in SW01 first (to primary FW) then SW02 (to secondary FW).

or is it better that after i configure SW01 trunk, i force failover to primary/active, then configure SW02 trunk so there will be zero downtime?

 

interface GigabitEthernet1/0/1
switchport mode trunk
no switchport access vlan 30
no switchport mode access
no spanning-tree portfast

 

SW01

interface GigabitEthernet1/0/1
description | FW01 PRI G0/1 : INSIDE |
switchport access vlan 30
switchport mode access
spanning-tree portfast

 

SW02

interface GigabitEthernet1/0/1
description | FW01 SEC G0/1 : INSIDE |
switchport access vlan 30
switchport mode access
spanning-tree portfast

Note that if the asa use native vlan or use router interface to connect to SW then changing access to trunk in SW need also some modify in FW.
