Here is a sample of a configuration done by a "Cisco Engineer:"
interface GigabitEthernet0/7
switchport access vlan 343
switchport mode access
switchport nonegotiate
snmp trap mac-notification change added
snmp trap mac-notification change removed
no cdp enable
spanning-tree portfast
There are a few things that don't make sense:
1. This person has disabled cdp on every interface, why not do this globally with "no cdp run"?
2. Why do you need to disable DTP (switchport nonegotiate) when you have specified the port as an access port (switchport mode acces)?
3. Do you need "spanning-tree portfast" when you specify a port as an access port? I read that the "switchport mode access" command will configure the port not to through the spanning-tree process. Was I misinformed?
