Switch Vlan database.

Hello gruop,

I have got such a question. When for example I have 2 directly connected
switches and one is in server mode second in client mode. I configure the
vlan database on the fist one...

say:
vlanA
vlanB
vlanC
vlanD

the first switch has just VlanA access port. SW2 has only vlanC and vlanD
accessport.
and we want SW1 to become the root for VLAN B.

1. When this is configured evertything is just fine. But after rebooting.
Switch one has only vlanA in its database.. hence nothing for SW2 and not
VlanB. I can't unerstand this since prunning is not enabled. What could it
be?? The vlan database is stored in vlan.dat file as far as I understand and
should be the same after rebooting what should it be??

2. If in the task is not explicitely told should we set extra access port
for VlanB. To make it a root port.

and general question. I heared some advises to reboot all the devices to
check that everything is fine during the lab. Is this also recommended for
switches??

Thanks,
