RE: VTP ServerAhh, thanks Bill..... Thats what I was understnding, but when I
would come to that conclusion, I would see that info about not being able to
configure a client... But they mean you cant configure vlans on a client, but
you can configure switchports on a client..... So the only real benefit of VTP
I can see is that I can configure Vlans on one switch, and have them
everywhere, which really only decreases a portion of the administrative
task... But increases network load in the process.... Anyone in the field
really using this????

    you need a:

    interface fast 0/3
    switchport access vlan 5

   that's it.

   Well, as long as VTP is working fine.

  _ you might need a 2924XL-EN for this... (or 3500's)

  Ok, I have lost alot of hair on this one. I usually dont ask the group
  questions, but After searching Cisco for days, and poking around the
switches,
  I am stumped...

  Lets say you have one Cat 5000 and a couple of 2900 series switches.

  You set up your VTP domain, making your 5000 the server and the others your
  clients... Now configuring VLANS propogates to the clients no problem. But
how
  do you assign different ports on the different switches to the various
  vlans???

  or can you only have all the port 1s on vlan 5 etc....????

  Doesnt make sense...

  This scenario could be all 2900s or whatever, just tossed an example out.
