IE Lab 7 task 1.4 - 1.5

 Hello,

 This task asks to configure a configure a trunk port between fa0/6 and
r6 fa1/0/0. It also states that you should not negotiate it via DTP.
The solutions guide has the below solution

Int fa0/6
switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
switchport mode trunk

 Now the trunk will never negotiate via DTP because R6 cannot perform
DTP. But I believe that sw1 will still try and send DTP frames to R6.
If I use the switchport nonegotiate command it should turn off DTP on R6.
Should you also use the switchport nonegotiate command to turn off DTP ?

  Thanks in advance,

      Mike F.
