How to Configure Cambium Switch Trunk Access Ports

This post lists a few configuration examples for Cambium Switch TX1012.

Trunk ports

vlan 2
 ports gigabitethernet 0/1-2    (allowed tagged VLAN 2 on port 1 and port 2)
 name "VLAN2"
!
vlan 4
 ports gigabitethernet 0/1-2    (allowed tagged VLAN 4 on port 1 and port 2)
 name "VLAN4"

interface gigabitethernet 0/1
switchport mode trunk

interface gigabitethernet 0/2
switchport mode trunk

It is equivalent to Cisco:

vlan 2
 name "VLAN2"
!
vlan 4
 name "VLAN4"

interface gigabitethernet 0/1
switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q   (You dont need this if is newer IOS)
switchport mode trunk
switchport trunk allowed vlan 2,4

interface gigabitethernet 0/2
switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q   (You dont need this if is newer IOS)
switchport mode trunk
switchport trunk allowed vlan 2,4

Trunk Port with Native VLAN

vlan 2
 ports gigabitethernet 0/1-2  (allowed tagged VLAN 2 on port 1 and port 2)
 name "VLAN2"
!
vlan 4
 ports gigabitethernet 0/1-2 untagged gigabitethernet 0/1-2   (allowed untagged VLAN 4 on port 1 and port 2)
 name "VLAN4"

interface gigabitethernet 0/1
switchport mode hybrid    (you may see the configuration after change the port type, unlike Cisco,  it is NOT trunk mode)
switchport pvid 4                (native vlan 4)

interface gigabitethernet 0/2
switchport mode hybrid
switchport pvid 4

It is equivalent to Cisco:

vlan 2
 name "VLAN2"
!
vlan 4
 name "VLAN4"

interface gigabitethernet 0/1
switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q   (You dont need this if is newer IOS)
switchport mode trunk
switchport trunk allowed vlan 2,4
switchport trunk native vlan 4       (native vlan 4)

interface gigabitethernet 0/2
switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q   (You dont need this if is newer IOS)
switchport mode trunk
switchport trunk allowed vlan 2,4
switchport trunk native vlan 4       (native vlan 4)

Access port

interface gigabitethernet 0/1
description ***Workstation***

vlan 4
 ports gigabitethernet 0/1 untagged gigabitethernet 0/1 (this list will increase if more ports are access port on vlan 4)
name "Workstation"

interface gigabitethernet 0/1
switchport pvid 4  or switchport access vlan 2   
switchport acceptable-frame-type untaggedAndPriorityTagged
switchport mode access

It is equivalent to Cisco:

vlan 4
