trunks and dtp...

dtp causes unnecessary traffic... when you manually configure a trunk on both sides, as you should,  you will still get dtp traffic... port 1 says, i'm a trunk; port 2 says i'm a trunk too back to port 1, and port 1 says it's delightful to be a trunk and port 2 says, being a trunk is good...

turn that shit off...

never trust your trunks to create themselves...

dls1(config)#int f0/15                                                         
dls1(config-if)#sw                                                             
dls1(config-if)#sw trunk encap dot1q                                           
dls1(config-if)#sw mode trunk                                                  
dls1(config-if)#sw nonegotiate                                                 
dls1(config-if)#end                       
dls1#sh int f0/15 trunk                                                        
                                                                               
Port        Mode             Encapsulation  Status        Native vlan          
Fa0/15      on               802.1q         other         1  

                  
use nonegotiate to stop the stupid dtp traffic...

dynamic auto on both sides leads to a dtp roadblock...  this is because auto is a passive state...  two passive's will never make an active... similar in fashion to pagp and lacp...
