switchport configuration on 6509 with Native code

[dskiptunas]

i am unable to configure switchport commands such as a trunk or access port. I get a message that switchport not supported. Has anyone seen this and how do I get around it.

By default it's a routed port. Make it a switchport by typing "switchport". Here is an example

LS-6506-4A(config)#int fastEthernet 5/1

LS-6506-4A(config-if)#switchport access vlan 10

Command rejected: Fa5/1 not a switching port.

LS-6506-4A(config-if)#switchport

LS-6506-4A(config-if)#switchport access vlan 10

LS-6506-4A(config-if)#
