I don't know if this was said, and I apologize if it's a duplicate,
but but I'll say it anyway...
Depending on the version of CatOS you are using, (anything above
5.4x) will include a macro command called set port host. This
command will automatically turn off the trunking and ether-channeling
(is that a word? :)), and in addition, will automatically set the
port into portfast mode.
