RE: cat 3550 - layer 3 etherchannel, vtp

Essentially, you have the two switches configured with a point-to-point
L3 link. VTP won't operate over this as it's L3, not L2. Imagine
having two switches, each connected to separate ethernet interfaces on a
common router (assumming the router isn't bridging, etc). They won't
share VTP info either...... Same situation.

HTH,

Subject: cat 3550 - layer 3 etherchannel, vtp

Hi,

I have 2 cat 3550 switches connected via a layer 3 etherchannel. Cat 1
is a vtp server and Cat 2 is a vtp client.

Q1. Changes in Cat 1's vlan configs does not propagate to Cat 2 ( Vtp
client ) for layer 3 etherchannel ?

It works for layer 2 etherchannel though. I am running 12.1(14)

Any help appreciated.

Cat 1:

interface Port-channel1
 no switchport
 ip address 140.4.21.1 255.255.255.252

interface FastEthernet0/23
 no switchport
 no ip address
 channel-group 1 mode desirable
!
interface FastEthernet0/24
 no switchport
 no ip address
 channel-group 1 mode desirable

Cat 2:

interface Port-channel1
 no switchport
 ip address 140.4.21.2 255.255.255.252

interface FastEthernet0/23
 no switchport
 no ip address
 channel-group 1 mode desirable
!
interface FastEthernet0/24
 no switchport
 no ip address
 channel-group 1 mode desirable

Thanks,
Paul
