What is the effect of entering the switchport mode access configuration command on a switch?

  • It enables BPDU guard on a specific port.
  • It manually enables a trunk link.
  • It disables an unused port.
  • It disables DTP on a non-trunking interface.

Explanation: The switchport mode access command puts an interface into permanent nontrunking mode. By explicitly defining the port as an access port, it disables DTP (auto trunking) negotiations, which is a critical security measure to mitigate VLAN hopping attacks where a threat actor might try to spoof trunking signals to access unauthorized VLANs.
