VTP question about "Show Run"

[joeadiutori]

Hi All,

I have a 2950.  I type "show vtp status" and it tells me this switch is in client mode, and it's in such-and-such domain, etc...  This is a good thing.  However, my question is why doesnt this information show up when I type "show run"?

Thank You - Joe

Because the vlan configuration when running in VTP server/client mode is stored in the vlan.dat file and not in the running config.

If you put the switch in VTP transparent mode then the vlan information is written into the running config and then you would be able to see it. It is also stored in the vlan.dat with VTP transparent as well.
