[jcmattos1]

We have 2 6509's w/ IOS one is setup as server and the other is client we have a link between the 2 with 10G. However, the vlans are not propagating to the client. The VTP domain name is correct and no password is used. Any ideas?

From SW-CA-DC-D1, can you post the 'show spanning-tree' cmd output ?

Can you also post the relevant portion of the config ?

This seems to be a tough one!

Perhaps it is time for a somewhat different approach?

That is: with the current values of the config revision, there is no chance that vlan info on your original vtp-server will be overwritten.

Try to make the client into a server and see what happens:

vtp config#vtp server

vtp config#exit

If this is to no avail either, you should first verify network connectivity between the cat's. If something is wrong about that, yiu will never get vtp in working order.

Did you already try to synchronize over a gig-link?

Finally resolved...I downgraded the IOS from SXF10 to SXF8 on the client side and it immediately connected no problem...Thx again for all your help all...Looks like we have another bug to add to SXF10...Thx!
