Re: [c-nsp] VTP doubt
If you must use VTP in production - use version 3 if you can, they got rid of the floors that cause the nightmare that Patrick mentioned. Also remember that VTP and vlan broadcast domains are totally separate - VTP is just config replication. -Original Message- From: cisco-nsp [mailto:cisco-nsp-boun...@puck.nether.net] On Behalf Of Patrick M.

Only one. If both C6500 are in server mode they will synchronize and save the VTP data. You can check the status like this: Core1#sh vtp status VTP Version : 3 (capable) Configuration Revision : 199 Maximum VLANs supported locally : 1005 Number of existing VLANs: 55 VTP Operating Mode : Server [...] If the configuration revision on both servers is the same, they are in sync.

Yes, it will. A popular way to shoot yourself in the foot is to bring a new system into your VTP domain that has been used before and has got: * VTP server mode enabled * VTP data with a revision higher than your exisiting equipment Plug in for instant fun :-) Been there, ...

[c-nsp] VTP doubt
Hi I've two 6500 (6500-A and 6500-B) in production as VTP server, access switch are 3750 or 4500 as VTP clients. Today if I add manually a vlan on one of the two VTP server (ie on 6500-A) it's propagated to the other server (6500-B) and clients. The question is: do I've to add manually on both VTP servers or just one is enough to keep redundancy ? If VTP server (6500-A) is broken down for any reason, does 6500-B still know the vlan added before only on 6500-B and continue to propagate to clients ?
