Configuring an Access port on a Cisco switch

Access ports in switches are normally used to connect end devices like workstations and printers. Access ports belong to only a single VLAN and do not provide any identifying marks on the Ethernet frames. When configuring an access port, you also want to define which VLAN the port belongs to.
