Regarding access port configuration

[rajesh_1249]

hi,

Is it necessary to configure " switch mode access" when you are configuring access port. Can we configure "switch access vlan x" directly? or Is it mandatory to give both.

Regards

Rajesh.

Hey Rajesh,

for all the interfaces connected to hosts usually I set them to:

swichport host.

it does the following:

switchport mode will be set to access

spanning-tree portfast will be enabled

channel group will be disabled

Answering your question it's not necessary but it's advisible hence a user could plug a switch to an interface and potentially form a trunk. The default configuration of cisco switches interface is dynamic desirable which runs DTP.

Thanks for the reply, just to be more clear to you answer. ..If i configure " Switchport access vlan x"  directly without "Switchport mode access" than it will be dynamic desirable right? please correct me.
