access Set trunking mode to ACCESS unconditionally
dot1q-tunnel Set trunking mode to DOT1Q TUNNEL unconditionally
dynamic Set trunking mode to dynamically negotiate access or trunk
mode
trunk Set trunking mode to TRUNK unconditionally
I don't have the "nonegotiate" option but by the description of setting it
to trunk mode, it appears that no negotiation is taking place since it will
trunk unconditionally. Does this mean no negotiation or is DTP still being
output from the switch? I interpret this to mean that the trunk is turned
on with the configured encapsulation and no DTP is being sent over the link
but I may be wrong. I didn't hook up a sniffer to test it so if anybody can
confirm this one way or the other.

Greetings Rik,
So what happens when you add the "nonegotiate" line to sw1?
I'd be interested to hear - also what version are you running?
Thanx,

Yes, a trunk gets formed. Here is the output from my switches (3550's) that
I just labbed up for you. The config is not identical to yours but looks
like it provides the same functionality:

Subject: Trunk Modes theory
All,
I am studying for my recertification and although i do understand the
different trunking modes, there has been a large discussion between me and a
colleague for the following specific situation:
First Situation
SW1 - Fa0/1
switchport mode trunk
switchport trunk mode isl
switchport trunk nonegotiate
SW2 - Fa0/1
swichport mode desirable
Is an ISL trunk being formed or NOT ?
Trick: nonegotiate makes the port NOT send any DTP packets.
I always thought that "desirable" NEEDED DTP packets from the other side to
form a trunk (so: ON, AUTO or DESIRABLE) So i would say: NO, their is no
trunk.
Several books and docs seem to suggest that in this case, a trunk will be
formed. I am unable to test right now.
So what will happen ?
regards,
Geert Nijs
