CDP - VTP client

From: gladston@br.ibm.com

CAT2 is vtp client.
BB2 is connected to CAT2
If configuring this:

interface FastEthernet0/12
 switchport access vlan 300
 switchport mode access
 no ip address
 spanning-tree portfast

Considering the Vlan was not created first, CDP will not be announced.

This was new for me. I though CDP was always advertised, but the following test confirms that if the Vlan does not exist, it is not advertised.

First, CAT2, fa0/12 is configured with and existing Vlan (received from CAT1 via vtp announce).
Then, I change the vlan using 'switchport access vlan 300'. As CAT2 is client, the vlan is not created.
This cause BB2 to loose CDP information.

I can see a problem like this taking our time (during the lab) looking for other configuration problems between CAT2---BB2.
