How does DFM detect Trunk and Access ports?

A. If a port is connected to a system interface, the PortType is labelled as ACCESS and if the port is connected to another port, it is labelled as TRUNK. To verify the PortType in Incharge, check the NeighboringSystems attribute under the port. This attribute indicates whether the port is connected to a switch, router, or a host interface. If the discovered port has no connection, then the default PortType is ACCESS.
