VTP question

How can I find out what switch is acting as the vtp server from a client's exec prompt? Basically, how do I find out what switch is acting as the VTP server without being physically connected to it?

hmmm... that's weird. I did that, but I must have not looked hard enough, thanks!

look at the bottom of the output it should say "configuration last modified by: 0.0.0.0" or somehting like that. IF you are sitting at the server then the IP will be 0.0.0.0. Also if you do not have vlan interface IP's for management purposes, then the output will read 0.0.0.0. If you have IP's set on your switches then the IP will be the server.
