I'm in semester 7 of the Cisco Academy program and one subject is not clear. This is the VTP revision number that is sent out between switches. Normally the number increments to indicate the most current information to that switch. And when you are introducing a used switch into your network you have to reset the number to 0.
That's the sticking point, how to reset it. The official academy text say to power cycle the switch to reset the revision number. A student who works with these says the same. But on the Cisco web site it says to change the domain name and then change it back to reset the number. The Cisco Press certification guide says to change the mode to transparent then to server. Or it says to change the domain name and change it back. Or it says to issue the CLEAR CONFIG ALL command (on set based switches) to clear the VTP info and the revision number. Also, when you issue the command SHOW SPANNING-TREE on a 4000 series switch it gives a listing of the different ports and information about those ports. EXAMPLE: INTERFACE FA0/1 (port 13) in spanning tree 1 is FORWARDING My question is, what is the (port 13) to mean?? The actual port on the switch is port 1, not 13. Each interface has a number that seems to increment but INT FA0/12 is (port 25) where if they incremented correctly it would be (port 24). The info says it's a designated port. What??
