[Zohaib Khan]

Hi guyz,

I am facing an issue i just install a 2950 series switch run Version 12.1(22)EA4 in  my network, i configured the vtp version 1 as clinet mode and change VTP domain name to my current domain name....Trunk is up but no VLAN transfer i already done some troubleshooting adding vlan on VTP server to change its revision number but still same no vlan

Zohaib,

Can you verify that the passwords on the client and server match?

On the VTP Client, can you post 'show vtp statistics?

[Zohaib Khan]

thanks for replying

no password is configured on server neither on client

VTP statistics:

Summary advertisements received    : 64

Subset advertisements received     : 32

Request advertisements received    : 0

Summary advertisements transmitted : 29

Number of config digest errors     : 32

Number of V1 summary errors        : 0

Is the server switch a Nexus ?

If so can you post a "sh int trunk" from the server switch side ?

Actually i m not directly connected with server switch

Can you post a "sh vtp status" from the intermediate switch ?

Jon

[Jon Marshall]

Okay, you have just updated your post so my answer makes no sense.

Can you try reconfiguring the new switch and make sure when you type in the domain name there are no spaces etc.

Jon

[Zohaib Khan]

sorry my last post is from backup sorry for that now its has been corrected

Domain Name is same

SW-2960#sh vtp status

Zohaib,

What is your configure the switch from client to transparent, then back to client. Once you're back into client mode, configure the domain name like Jon suggested with no spaces,

[Zohaib Khan]

Already checked still same no issue with domain name

i think that is the issue

Number of config digest errors     : 32

but dont khow the solution

[JohnTylerPearce]

Zohaib.

I noticed that earlier. Can you run 'show vtp password' on each witch and verify everything looks good.

[Zohaib Khan]

Thanks all for your Help

[hungnv001]

Thank all !

exactly ! wrong password vtp.

[Batelco]

Thanks for your prompt input, it was kind of silly and frustrating from me to join the switch to the existing vtp domain server as I thought no password was implemented in my case.

Kind Regards,

Got Help from

Troubleshooting VLAN Trunk Protocol (VTP)
The general purpose of an MD5 value is to verify the
 integrity of a  received packet and to detect any 
changes to the packet or corruption of  the packet
 during transit. When a switch detects a new 
revision number  that is different from the currently 
stored value, the switch sends a  request message to
the VTP serverand requests the VTP subsets. A subset
advertisement contains a list of VLAN information. 
The switch  calculates the MD5 value for the subset 
advertisements and compares the  value to the MD5 
value of the VTP summary advertisement. If the two  
values are different, the switch increases the 
No of config digest errors counter.A  common reason 
for these digest errors is that the VTP password is not 
configured consistently on all VTP servers in the VTP
 domain. Troubleshoot theseerrors as a misconfiguration
 or data corruption issue.
You  can issus a show vtp password, 
to verify what the password is on the device generating 
the error, and then use the vtp password command to  
reset it ot the correct value, if in fact it had been changed.
