Ethernet interfaces can be configured either as access ports or a trunk ports, as follows:
An access port transmits packets on only one VLAN (traffic is not tagged on this type of port).
To set FastEthernet 1/10 as an Ethernet access port that carries traffic for VLAN 5 only:
switch# configure terminal
switch(config)# interface FastEthernet 0/10
switch(config-if)# switchport mode access
switch(config-if)# switchport access vlan 5
There is also method to set “user/host-facing” port with one handy command for setting few features at once. Switchport host command makes: the port an access port, sets the Spanning Tree portfast feature, disables port-channel.
switch# configure terminal
switch(config)# interface FastEthernet 0/1
switch(config-if)# switchport host
switch(config-if)# switchport access vlan 5
Check how to configure trunk port.
