And the answer comes from ... you guessed it ... "Cisco LAN Switching" by Clark and Hamilton. page 320 "The 'desirable' mode causes a Catalyst interface to inform the remote end of its 'intent' to enable ISL, but does not actually enable ISL unless the remote end agrees to enable it. The remote end must be set in the 'on', 'auto', or 'desirable' mode for the link to establish an ISL trunk. Do not use the 'desirable' mode if the remote end does not support DISL." "Configuring a Catalyst in 'auto' mode enables the Catalyst to recieve a request to enable ISL trunking and to automatically enter that mode. The Catalyst configured in 'auto' never initiates a request to create a trunk and never becomes a trunk unless the remote end is configured as 'on' or 'desirable'. The 'auto' mode is the Catalyst default configuration. In when enabling a trunk you do not specify a mode, 'auto' is assumed. A Catalyst never enables trunk mode when left to the default value at both ends. When one end is set as 'auto', you must set the other end to either 'on' or 'desirable' to activate a trunk." > -----Original Message----- > From: Pierre-Alex GUANEL [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Wednesday, February 20, 2002 6:36 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Trunk Modes Perspective [7:36016] > > > In the "real world" when would you set a trunk type in "auto" > rather than > "desirable"? > > Both will be triggered when the connected device is set to > "on", "desirable" > (or auto when setup with "desirable"). > > Thank you, > > Pierre-Alex - This message (including any attachments) contains confidential information intended for a specific individual and purpose, and is protected by law. - If you are not the intended recipient, you should delete this message and are hereby notified that any disclosure, copying, or distribution of this message, or the taking of any action based on it, is strictly prohibited.
