Right O, thanks

Is that correct? because that contradicts the other post.

In my experience for a switch that comes with no configuration I have always manualy make a switchport wether is a normal 10/100/1000 access port or gigabit port to participate in trunking either dynamic or non-dynamic, whether this has changed that ports defaults to dynamic on all ports I am not aware of it.

The simplest way to find out would be to have your switch connect to another switch to see if it auto negotiates DTP.

I know it conflicts, but I asked the switch and it told me so

He is correct , default is dynamic desirable so if you plug into a cisco switch on the other end and the port is set as desirable or auto it will form a trunk .

I guess jcoke is the winner then, new info learned ! and deserves a good rating.

Thanks for your efforts guys, really appreciate it!
