VTP not updating clients???

Donnelly82

Hi guys and girls. Ive been doing more labs, and now at the VTP stage. Im stuck. spent a few hours trying to figure out why the VTP isn't updating clients, and my mind is now moosh. I even erased the 3 switches and started from scratch just incase there was some sneaky wee thing that was wrong. Heres my VTP Stats. the servers revision is the lowest and not to sure why??

Need the same domain name on the VTP server as what you have on the clients (UTC_TR)

cheers, ill give that a try. My understanding was that if u changed it on the server, it should automatically update the clients??

Thanks Diggs, much appreciated.

also don't forget to check the VP password as well if there is password on one and not on others
is not gonna work

Also the revision number is higher on the clients so they would (if in same domain) overwrite server database. Make sure server rev number higher before inserting new switch RESET REV ARTICLE
