Can a VTP client update a server?

Can a VTP client update a server?

Note also that because VTP clients can actually originate VTP updates, under the right circumstances, a VTP client can update the VTP database on another VTP client or server.

What can you not do on a VTP client switch?

A VTP client behaves like a VTP server and transmits and receives VTP updates on its trunks, but you cannot create, change, or delete VLANs on a VTP client.

What issues can affect VTP configuration?

– VTP domain and password must match. – Configuration has been overwritten by another VTP device. – Consider making VTP domain smaller.

How do I force a VTP update?

You can’t manually force updates because VTP configs are pushed based on the highest current VLAN database revision number. Normally, after every change to your VTP config the configuration revision number should be incremented. The only way to force update this is by actually doing a VTP database change.

Why we use servers and clients in VTP?

VTP Server Mode VTP Server can add, modify, and delete VLANs. It will propagate a VTP message containing all the changes from all of its trunk ports. If server receives a VTP message, it will incorporate the change and forward the message from all remaining trunk ports.

In that case, counters is very useful because it shows you the advertisements that you sent and received.

What is VTP server mode?

VTP server mode (Cisco) VTP servers advertise their VLAN configurations to other switches in the same VTP domain and synchronize their VLAN configurations with other switches based on advertisements received over trunk links. VTP server is the default mode. The rest of switches work then in Client mode.
