All good now, this was part of a larger problem that has now been resolved. I may not know why it doesn't let me set the switchport mode or the native VLAN but I don't need anymore troubleshooting on this.
When I try to configure a Gigabit Ethernet port on a Force10 switch, it won't let me run the command "switchport mode access" claiming invalid input. When I check the options under "switchport mode", the only option is "private-vlan"
Cannot set switchport mode or native vlan for port in Force10 switch
