That's a valid question :-). I guess because authors of individual labs (me included) thought that it's not an error to configure static access port and disable DTP explicitly. In my own case one of the reasons is that some years ago I read this approach in NSA guidelines for securing routers. While strictly not necessary, it's not a mistake, as no behavior is altered. However, you rely on every single revision of IOS to behave the same. Hardcoding "switchport nonegotiate", you are not relying on IOS. We could remove additional configuration from workbooks, but I'm sure someone would then ask "why is there no 'swi noneg' when question asks for it" :-) -- Marko Milivojevic - CCIE #18427 Senior Technical Instructor - IPexpert FREE CCIE training: http://bit.ly/vLecture Mailto: [email protected] Telephone: +1.810.326.1444 Web: http://www.ipexpert.com/ _______________________________________________ For more information regarding industry leading CCIE Lab training, please visit www.ipexpert.com
