Two new switches are removed from their cardboard boxes...

I come across this question sometimes in the Boson sim questions, which starts out like "Two new switches are removed from their cardboard boxes..."

Sometimes the switches seem to be defaulting as dynamic auto and sometimes they are dynamic desirable. Is this different for different level routers? Access/Distribution level? or am I just mistaken?

    It depends on the switch. 3550's default to dynamic desirable and 3560's default to dynamic auto. I think this was done as a security measue on the newer switches.

    I think its their writers. I noticed quite a few mistakes while going through the practice, including an answer explanation of "Please enter your explanation here."

    So is it safe to assume that the switches use dynamic auto as their default switchport mode?, unless its a 3550.
