Confirmation on Switchport Commands.

Hello GS Members,

I was wondering if these two commands are redundant or not with respect to access ports.
        switchport mode access
        switchport nonegotiate

        My thought process is, that nonegotiate command isn't needed if the port is already statically set to access mode. Regardless of the host trying to negotiate a trunk with DTP it won't matter because it's stuck in access mode anyway.

I've always wondered this as I see it in a lot of "Best Practices" guides and it always seemed redundant to me.

Thanks in advance,
JB
