Configuring Access Mode for Huijue Switches

To configure an access port on a Huawei switch, assign the port to a specific VLAN using the CLI and verify the configuration.

Step 1: Connect and Log In

Connect to the switch using a console cable or SSH. Log in with your administrator credentials to access the CLI interface .

Step 2: Create or Verify VLAN

Before assigning a port to a VLAN, ensure the VLAN exists:

system-viewvlan 10quit

Replace 10 with your desired VLAN ID .

Step 3: Configure the Port as Access

Enter the interface configuration mode for the port you want to configure:

interface GigabitEthernet0/0/1port link-type accessport default vlan 10quit

• port link-type access sets the port to access mode.
• port default vlan 10 assigns the port to VLAN 10 .

Step 4: Verify Configuration

Check the port settings to ensure it is correctly assigned:

display interface GigabitEthernet0/0/1display vlan

These commands confirm the port is in access mode and associated with the correct VLAN .

Step 5: Save Configuration

To make the changes persistent after a reboot:

save

Confirm when prompted to save the configuration .

Best Practices

• Use access mode for ports connecting to end devices like PCs or printers.
• Reserve trunk mode for ports connecting to other switches or routers.
• Document VLAN assignments to avoid conflicts and simplify troubleshooting.
• Optionally, configure port security to limit MAC addresses on access ports for enhanced security . By following these steps, you can efficiently configure access ports on Huawei switches, ensuring proper VLAN segmentation and network connectivity.
