VTP mode setting on L3 switch

[psaravanan]

Hi frnds,

I am saravanan from Bangalore. In one of my customer has 4503 switch connected with 20 2950 switch. I want to enable the trunking protocol in between the both L3 and L2 switch dedicately. In 2950 Encapsulation dot1q and ISL options are not there, how can be to enable the trunking.

Then another issue, when i enable VTP mode from Transparen to server mode, how much time it will take. After enable the server mode, that L3 switch is hanging (there is no ping ), but when show vtp status and counters. It shows the number of advertisements and revision numbers also.

but it is hanging more than 2 minutes, so rollback in to old mode (transparent). Please tell me how much time it will take.

Thanks in advance
