Re: VTP question

Hi,

I stand to differ.

If a new switch has been introduced into the domain with a client mode, it
will never corrupt the domain at all.

The reason is, when in client mode

(1) It does not generate the summary advertisements for every time period (5
min) - so, its reversion number will not be known on the domain
(2) When the switch receives a lower configuration reversion number compared
to its current, it simply ignore and drop the packet - thus, without
forwarding it to any trunk on the domain.

How will it then corrupt the domain.
