dtp on access port

[sarahr202]

hi every body!

if we configure the switchport as access port , should we disable the dtp to save unnecessary dtp messages on access port?

or configuring port as access port automatically disable the dtp?

thanks a lot!

Hi,

Adding to Edison's post, DTP is point to point protocol negotiate trunking between 2 switches end points.

Quick note: DTP is not performed when switches have different VTP domain names.

For any user port use the "switchport host" command which shuts off trunking and etherchannel negotiation and enables portfast.
