OK, you can issue the "vtp domain" command on a switch in the client
mode.
But the switch will inherits the domain name via the trunk link.
A vtp advertisement includes the VTP domain name.
The initial question is: Is the command "vtp domain" a must on a vtp
client?
My answer is you don't need it but you can enter it. You will learn the
vtp domain name via the trunk.
If you enter the vtp domain on a vtp client you add some kind of
security since the vtp advertisements will be ignored if the vtp domain
mismatch.

Yes!
I don't know of any other way to tell the "vtp client" the domain name
of your "vtp server" unless you issue the command "vtp domain <domain
name> on the vtp client. It's not automagically transmitted via vtp
advertisements if that's your line of thinking!
caveat...
"This assumes that you have 2 switches, one a vtp server and the other a
vtp client, and you want both switches in the same vtp domain"

Is the command "vtp domain <domain name>" a must on a VTP client when I
already have VTP server configured?
Thank you!
