switchport access

[hugh.lancaster]

Need some help or it may not matter, I have two controllers trunked. One to int 4/0/17 and worked fine I added the other controller to 4/0/17 and I am having issues.

fa 4/0/18 displays, "switchport access vlan5".

fa 4/0/17 does not.  Do I need to remove that and how?

interface FastEthernet4/0/17

description Wire_Control

switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q

switchport trunk allowed vlan 1,5

switchport mode trunk

storm-control broadcast level 10.00

macro description cisco-desktop | cisco-desktop

spanning-tree portfast

spanning-tree bpduguard enable

!

interface FastEthernet4/0/18

description Wireless Controller ip 10.100.0.49

switchport access vlan 5

switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q

switchport trunk allowed vlan 1,5

switchport mode trunk

switchport nonegotiate

storm-control broadcast level 10.00

macro description cisco-desktop | cisco-desktop | cisco-desktop

spanning-tree portfast

spanning-tree bpduguard enable

  No you don't have to remove it , because you have hardcoded the trunk , "switchport mode trunk" ,  the switchport access vlan 5 has no effect.

I'm thinking, that someone put that port into vlan 5, before they created the trunk. As Glen says, it's basically a dumb config right now, not really doing anything.

I'm assuming VLAN 5 is the wireless network vlan?

It probably was an access port before it was a trunk. It should be in trunk mode, check the operational mode with show interface fa4/0/18 switchport.
