Thanks to everyone who helped clarify the VTP Domain process and I have more questions.
I am working on a textbook Cisco network design. We have two 6509s in the core, four 6509s in the distribution layer and about 30 6509s at the access layer. We also have two Server Farm 6509s hanging off the core switches. The core and distribution will route and well switch to the server farm and the access layers. Well have about 4-5 VLANs in each access layer, so well over 100 VLANs total. Hence my strong interest in VTP. Reading through the VTP stuff today, I saw where the VTP communication occurs through VLAN1. The reseller who sold the design said we would have multi-path layer3 connectivity between core and distribution and layer 2 out to access 6509s. Assuming we only had routed links between the core and distribution layers, then how would the VTP updates get through to the distribution layer from the core? Can we effectively have both a routed link and a bridged VLAN1 link throughout the network? Does that make sense? Any suggestions on how this is accomplished with one VTP domain or a better way would be appreciated.
