A port can be a trunk port, an access port, or a multi-vlan port. From what little I've read on it the goal seems to be to reach machines that have multiple ip addresses on one interface.
Recently someone wanted to serve multiple small subnets from one port. This might have been a workable solution. Switch#config t Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z. Switch(config)#int fa0/1 Switch(config-if)#switchport ? access Set access mode characteristics of the interface mode Set trunking mode of the interface multi Set characteristics when in multi-VLAN mode priority Set 802.1p priorities trunk Set trunking characteristics of the interface Switch(config-if)#switchport multi ? vlan Set multi-VLAN mode VLANs Switch(config-if)#switchport multi vlan ?
