Configuring interface to access port does not allow VLAN <###> to go through

After configuring an interface to access a port for allowing VLAN <###>, the VLAN <###> does not go through.

Possible Cause

The VLAN was not created.

Solution

In NX-OS, configuring with the switchport access vlan <###> command on an interface does not automatically create VLAN <###>. You must specifically create VLAN <###> using the vlan <###> command. Use the show vlan command to determine if VLAN <###> exists. If it does not exist, then use the vlan <###> command to create the VLAN.
