Re: Confirmation on Switchport Commands.

I'm pretty sure that just using switchport mode access without the
nonegotiate command still allows DTP packets to be sent (even though it's
configured as an access port). The only way to disable listening or sending
of DTP packets is to use the 'switchport nonegotiate' command.
