switchport nonegotiate
To specify that Dynamic Trunking Protocol (DTP) negotiation packets are not sent on the Layer 2 interface,
use the
switchport nonegotiate
command in interface configuration mode. Use the
no
form of this command
to return to the default setting.
switchport nonegotiate

Usage Guidelines
The
no switchport nonegotiate
command removes nonegotiate status.
This command is valid only when the interface switchport mode is access or trunk (configured by using the
switchport mode access
or the
switchport mode trunk
interface configuration command). This command
returns an error if you attempt to execute it in dynamic (auto or desirable) mode.
Internetworking devices that do not support DTP might forward DTP frames improperly and cause
misconfigurations. To avoid this problem, turn off DTP by using the
switchport nonegotiate
command to
configure the interfaces connected to devices that do not support DTP to not forward DTP frames.
When you enter the
switchport nonegotiate
command, DTP negotiation packets are not sent on the interface.
The device does or does not trunk according to the
mode
parameter:
access
or
trunk.
•
If you do not intend to trunk across those links, use the
switchport mode access
interface configuration
command to disable trunking.
•
To enable trunking on a device that does not support DTP, use the
switchport mode trunk
and
switchport
nonegotiate
interface configuration commands to cause the interface to become a trunk but to not
generate DTP frames.
Examples
This example shows how to cause a port to refrain from negotiating trunking mode and to act as a trunk or
access port (depending on the mode set):
Controller(config)#
interface gigabitethernet2/0/1
Controller(config-if)#
