'switchport nonegotiate' is more tricksie than that - it stops the ends of the link from negotiating whether they are trunk or access - ie it stops a host from asking an access port to become a trunk...or a trunk link from providing just an access layer. its a security mechanism and isnt to be confused with speed/duplex. best practice is to use it on edge ports to stop Mr Haxor from asking for a trunk link and all the VLANs that the switch knows alan _______________________________________________ cisco-nsp mailing list [email protected] https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/cisco-nsp archive at http://puck.nether.net/pipermail/cisco-nsp/
