Radoslav,
Radoslav, think of it in this way
1) You are required to establish permanent trunk. You may achieve that
with DTP mode "ON", or without DTP at all. With DTP you'll just keep
sending to the other side your trunk status. If you are not *explicitly*
(or somehow implicitly) required to turn DTP off, you may leave it there,
or turn it off - it's up to you to decide. As long as you get *correct*
output
from "show inter trunk", it does not matter.
2) Once again, if you are required to establish a trunk, you may do it in
any way you like.It's just if they ask for "negotiated" trunk, or something
like that, you should take care. Just remember two basic verification
commads: "show inter trunk" "show inter fa x/y switchport". They should
produce output, that is in sync with your task requiremenst.
