DTP Dynamic Trunking Protocol
Trunk negotiation is managed by the Dynamic Trunking Protocol (DTP), which is a Cisco proprietary Point-to-Point Protocol.
These various modes are configured using the switchport mode interface command
Switch trunk interfaces support different trunking modes.
- Access
- Dynamic desirable (default mode on Catalyst 2950 and 3550)
- Dynamic auto
- Trunk
- Non-negotiate
- dotq-tunnel (Not an option on the Catalyst 2950.) Read the rest of this entry »

IP Addressing Structure:
IPv4 Address = 32 bit # written as dotted decimals
Always paired with a 32 bit mask
Computers evaluate &
E.G. 10101000 <- high-order that side, -> low order this side.
Network = group of hosts with identical network addresses.
Some portion of the low-order bits = host address.
From our 32 bits, the # of bits used in the host portion determines how many hosts we can have in our network.
E.G. if 200 hosts in our network. We need enough bits in the host portion to make 200+ numbers
2^7 = 128, 2^8 = 256, therefore 8 bits minimum are required to get 200+ hosts.
