Hi all, I know that with vtp version 3, the problem has been solved that a CLIENT switch with a higher revision number than a SERVER switch with a lower revision number, the vlan database of the SERVER is not updated by the CLIENT.
But is it really so? Or is there a condition for which even with VTP version 3 the CLIENT can update the SERVER?
Thank u all.

Hello,
in theory, not (unless somebody has found a hack to do this). I assume you are asking this question because you have run into a related issue where this has happened ?

Exact Georg.
Explain quickly:
I have created two L2 Vlans on a Primary Server Router with VTPv3. I saw that on the Switch Clients the Vlan was not created, because on the switches there was a VTP password.
I added the VTP password also on the Router, this operation has transformed the Router to be Server and not to Primary Server.
Finally, I saw that the two Vlan previously created had disappeared on the Router and that the Revision Number of the server was the same as that of the Clients.
I am afraid that one of the clients has updated the Vlan Database of the Server but how? In the VTP Domain there are no other Servers, the only one is the Router, the other members are Clients.
Thank you.

Hello,
odd indeed. What router and IOS version was that on ? What happened there is exactly the thing VTP version 3 is supposed to prevent, as you stated earlier...

It sounds like what you did do was promote that switch to be the primary server as such it wrote over the VTP D/B of the other vtp server (now not the primary)

The main goal of VTP version 3 remains to synchronize VLANs but it has a number for extras.
Here are some of the new additions to VTP version 3:

thanks for the explanation but how is it possible that what I wrote above happened?

When I review your issue immediately VTP ver downgrade come in my mind
can you share the show vtp status for both Client and Server ??
