1900 VTP Options

[coolboarderguy]

Hi All,

the 1900 switch I've brought home from work, which I want to be a client, doesn't seem to have client as an option.

(config)#vtp ?

domain Set VTP domain name

password Set VTP password

pruning VTP pruning

server VTP server

transparent VTP transparent

trap VTP trap

Is trap equivalent to client.? Cheers.

tronk#copy ?

I this link should help with your VTP options:

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/switches/ps574/products_command_reference_chapter09186a00800e799d.html#11285

Configuration is saved automatically in NVRAM, similiar to set based switches.

Hi All,

oh, ok, I see, so I just set to server, make sure I make no changes locally, and the switch will update via VTP reports from other switches. Also, thanx for the info referring to saving run. Cheers.
