In my experience, many people use it. Usually at the distribution level
only. So that in a switch block, you only have to create the vlan once.
I usually don't take VTP to the access layer. Usually, the vlans at the
access layer are only a small subset of the number of vlans on the
distribution block. Also, the concern of having an access switch come
up that has a higher configuration version than my distribution block
scares me.

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.
