RE: VTP Order of Operations

Martin,

Sometimes it's just touchy, usually once I'm sure the trunks are where they need to be and VTP modes are configured, I'll add some random VLAN to the server and check propagation, remove it and then verify everyone is on the same version. Sometimes I'll bounce the trunk links as well, once info is moving between switches, it typically stays in a working condition. I would try avoiding the reload until you're sure it won't pass VTP info, that's a 3 - 5 minute ordeal =/

Whilst the vendor wars are kind of amusing, back on topic for GS:

VTP Order of Operations

I always thought it was:

* Set up trunks
* Set your VTP Domain on Server
* Set your VTP Password on Server
* Set your VTP domain/password on Clients
* Set your VTP Options/vlans/etc on Server

This seems to not (always) work for me, or im impatient and it takes too
long and I start deleting vlan.dat / reloading before its done.

Thoughts?
