[c-nsp] Turning off vtp multicasts

I have a WS-C3550-12G running c3550-i5k2l2q3-mz.121-20.EA1.bin.
(Yes, I know; that's a bit stale, but the switch has been up and
running for over 16 months.)

We are trying to connect one of its ports to a peering switch.
The engineer managing the peering switch has complained to us
that our switch is emitting vtp multicasts.

An example is included at the end of this email.  

We want to continue running vtp on this router but, to comply
with this request, would like to surpress any vtp multicasts on
this particular port. 

I reached the point where I was just changing various config
options (not quite at random) hoping to find one that would make
a difference.  At the moment, the config looks like this:

  | switch1.nycmnycz#sho run int g0/1
  | Building configuration...
  | 
  | Current configuration : 265 bytes
  | !
  | interface GigabitEthernet0/1
  |  description nyiix
  |  switchport access vlan 101
  |  switchport mode access
  |  switchport block multicast
  |  no cdp enable
  |  spanning-tree portfast
  |  spanning-tree bpdufilter enable
  |  spanning-tree bpduguard enable
  |  spanning-tree guard none
  | end


Any suggestions or pointers to appropriate documentation would
be much appreciated.
