To enable trunking to 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.
Configuring an Ethernet Interface as a Trunk Port
Configuring a Trunk Port
Because trunk ports send and receive VTP advertisements, to use VTP you must ensure that at least one trunk
port is configured on the switch and that this trunk port is connected to the trunk port of a second switch.
Otherwise, the switch cannot receive any VTP advertisements.
