Access Interface

You can query, modify, or delete the configuration of an access interface.

Context

An access interface is connected to user hosts. It is mainly used to connect to access links, and the Ethernet frames transmitted on the access link do not contain VLAN tags. If an access interface is configured with a default VLAN, the access interface adds a VLAN tag to packets and sets the VID field in the VLAN tag to the default VLAN ID. The access link transmits only the Ethernet frames with the default VLAN ID.
