Yeah, I think that's what I'd do. Convert any existing VTP servers and clients in the main VTP domain to VTP transparent. The VLAN config will then appear in the 'main' IOS running config and you'll be able to tidy it up at will without affecting other devices. Meanwhile, transparent devices will still forward VTP messages to other switches. Then you can convert some L2 links to L3 and, if you want, turn the now segregated systems into a new VTP domain. I'd just stick with VTP transparent though. There's a bit more administrative overhead but I find it 'cleaner' knowing exactly where traffic can go. There are some features like PVLANs which require it anyway. cheers, Dale _______________________________________________ cisco-nsp mailing list [email protected] https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/cisco-nsp archive at http://puck.nether.net/pipermail/cisco-nsp/
