Create Access and Trunk Ports

An access port is a port on the service provider edge that directly connects to the customer. An access port
may belong to only one service provider VLAN.
A trunk port is a port on a service provider bridge that connects to another service provider bridge and is
a member of multiple service provider VLANs.
Physical ports and port-channels can be access or trunk ports.
