Different simultaneous issue - VTP

This is is a different simultaneous issue along with "Hiccup on setting up first IP Phone."

Please take a look at these two switches and notice any issue for VTP and trunking. PWR-SW's fa 0/23 is connected to SW-2's fa 0/24.

VTP only works over trunk links. Is PWR-SW's fa 0/23 a trunk? It is not included in the configuration your provided.

sendalot

I concluded that because it's not a crossover cable since it's not new IOS, it can't auto-change cabling mode.

cisco_nerd

It is advisable to always use the correct cabling when connecting same layer devices.

You need to configure trunk ports on both the switches. As stated above, VTP only works over trunks. Fix this and it should work. Ensure that if you are using a password for VTP updates that they explicitly match on both switches.

Hi, i do not understand the point of having this configuration on PWR-SW

!
interface FastEthernet0/24
switchport access vlan 50
switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
switchport mode trunk
switchport voice vlan 10
spanning-tree portfast
!

is this a trunk port or an access port???

Iristheangel

If that's the connection between the two switches, I would clean up the config a bit. Lots of unnecessary lines in there.
Remove switchport access vlan 50, switchport voice vlan 10, and spanning-tree portfast. Maybe throw in spanning-tree portfast trunk

Also, did you notice this:

One switch is running VTP version 1 and the other is running VTP version 2

sendalot

Yea, I noticed the V2/V1 difference. I had to switch to transparent, turn on V2 and go back to Client since it wouldn't let me swap at client mode.
I just ordered myself some crossover patch cables.
It took me 2 hours of this slow mind to suddenly realize that for older switches, you need crossover as they can't auto-detect cable type. (Because the lights on switches wouldn't even lit up other than when connected to a host or a router).
Oh silly me!

Or you could make them...

Get yourself a wire crimper for a few bucks and some ethernet connectors then you could make whatever cable your heart desires.
