Good afternoon to everyone. I ask your fogiveness ahead of time, as I am new to the networking department. My question is this: We have a Cisco 6509 core switch which of course, has trunking enabled. Is it possible to have a port on the switch enabled for multiple vlans? I believe the commands would be:
config t
interface gigabit x/x
switchport mode multi x,y
Your help is greatly appreciated!

Here's an example-
switchport
switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
switchport trunk allowed vlan 601,604,606,609,610,613,751
switchport mode trunk
no ip address
speed 1000
duplex full
HTH and please rate.

Hi,
Please check the following link:
But please note that a multi-VLAN port and trunk port cannot coexist on the same switch.
[edit] The multi-VLAN port feature is supported only on Catalyst 2900XL/3500XL Series Switches. This feature is not supported on Catalyst 4500/4000, 5500/5000, or 6500/6000 Series Switches or any other Catalyst switches.
HTH,
Mohammed Mahmoud.

I certainly appreciate the expedient response everyone! I was hoping there was a way around having a trunk port and multi-VLAN port on the same switch, but it appears not to be the case. Best regards to everyone and thank you again!
