If the revision numbers are the same then it won't hurt anything, just enter the command
Vtp mode server -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Farzad Cheema Sent: Wednesday, July 28, 2010 11:30 AM To: Marko Milivojevic Cc: [email protected] Subject: Re: [OSL | CCIE_RS] VTP Server Hi Marko, Actually my new switch is already connected to the network with vtp client status and is getting all vlans from the existing vtp server. And the config revision on both switches is same at the moment. I am a little bit confused here, should I simply change the vtp mode from client to server on the new switch ? Pls suggest if I am missing something else.
