Switchport nonegotiate on access port causes issues?!?

[adam21983]

So yesterday i configured an access port for one of our sys admins. After doing so he was not able to ssh into the box connected to this port from a different vlan. However, after removing the switchport nonegotiate setting he was able to ssh into the box without issue. So my questions is whether or not this was mearly a coincidence? How could the simple fact that the port is not generating DTP frames effect a system connected to an access port? Please share your thoughts on this curious situation. Thanks!

THE CONFIG PRIOR TO REMOVING "SWITCHPORT NONEGOTIATE"
#########################################
interface GigabitEthernet2/8
no ip address
speed 1000
duplex full
switchport
switchport access vlan 50
switchport mode access
switchport nonegotiate

Don't see what difference it would make either .

I can't see what difference it would make. Get a SPAN session configured and see what's going on.
Switchport nonegotiate just stops the switchport sending DTP frames, I would be more concerned about hard-coding the port to 1000/Full as Gigabit is by design supposed to be negotiated.

Yeah---DTP frames going actually can cause problems (interface errors, etc), but I would not know why turning it off would cause problems...
