Switchport nonegotiate VS Speed nonegotiate.

Today I was doing a port-channel turn up and the command Speed nonegotiate populated its self into the port-channel we thought maybe it was causing some DTP issues. It was not but there is another command with the nonegotiate syntax that does disable DTP.

Switchport nonegotiate:

When using the nonegotiate keyword, Dynamic Inter-Switch Link Protocol and Dynamic Trunking Protocol (DISL/DTP)-negotiation packets are not sent on the interface. The device trunks or does not trunk according to the mode parameter given: access or trunk. This command returns an error if you attempt to execute it in dynamic (auto or desirable) mode.

Speed nonegotiate:

The nonegotiate keyword is available only for SFP module ports. SFP module ports operate only at 1000 Mbps but can be configured to not negotiate if connected to a device that does not support autonegotiation.
