I think you may be looking at two different things... So start with the basics. On your 6509's, create a new vlan. Go to your 3560's and simply do "show vtp status" (check the latest update) and "show vlan brief" to see whether that number appears in the list at all. THAT will tell you if you have a VTP issue. Next, look at your trunk configuration to see if it's propogated, and the show spanning-tree. That will tell you functionality. For a new vlan and new SVI, I'd anticipate less than a minute for spanning-tree to figure out what was going on. Based on your show commands down there, your VTP hasn't propogated well. On a side note, I'd enable NTP or something to make the time consistent between devices. (Modified on 3/1/93 doesn't help much!) Your domain name appears the same (unless there's a space at the end of one side), but is there a password? You have pruning enabled on the server switch, this SHOULD be propogated to the clients if configured correctly. Try to take some time in a maintenance window (I assume you're in healthcare due to your VTP domain name) and change the VTP name and any password informatoin via cut/paste to assure it's the same on all devices. See what happens. HTH,

The problem I am having is on my IDF switches even though I have created the vlans on the VTP Server which is one of my Core switches and the rest are clients. When I create the INT VLAN it still shows down down. So I have to covert the vtp client to server and then create the vlan on the switches local database which defeats the purpose of easier administration. I have checked to make sure trunking is on and it is I statically defined the trunks so there is negotiation and the encapsulation is the same. Spanning tree looks correct but the clients revision numbers are not matching up with the sever. The other core switch does have the same vtp config but the 3560s dont. I will paste some output to see if that helps Thanks Keith output below ________________________________ \ Core_A#sh spann vlan 10 VLAN0010 Spanning tree enabled protocol rstp Root ID Priority 32768 Address 001b.0d60.b00a This bridge is the root Hello Time 2 sec Max Age 20 sec Forward Delay 15 sec Bridge ID Priority 32768 Address 001b.0d60.b00a Hello Time 2 sec Max Age 20 sec Forward Delay 15 sec Aging Time 300 Interface Role Sts Cost Prio.Nbr Type ---------------- ---- --- --------- -------- -------------------------------- Gi2/28 Desg FWD 4 128.156 P2p Gi2/29 Desg FWD 4 128.157 P2p Gi2/30 Desg FWD 4 128.158 P2p Gi2/31 Desg FWD 4 128.159 P2p Gi2/32 Desg FWD 4 128.160 P2p Po1 Desg FWD 1 128.1665 P2p sh int trunk Port Mode Encapsulation Status Native vlan Gi2/28 on 802.1q trunking 1 Gi2/29 on 802.1q trunking 1 Gi2/30 on 802.1q trunking 1 Gi2/31 on 802.1q trunking 1 Gi2/32 on 802.1q trunking 1 Po1 on 802.1q trunking 1 Port Vlans allowed on trunk Gi2/28 1-4094 Gi2/29 1-4094 Core_A#sh vtp stat VTP Version : 2 Configuration Revision : 40 Maximum VLANs supported locally : 1005 Number of existing VLANs : 25 VTP Operating Mode : Server VTP Domain Name : Clinica_Girassol VTP Pruning Mode : Enabled VTP V2 Mode : Disabled VTP Traps Generation : Disabled MD5 digest : 0x56 0x79 0x21 0x6D 0xAC 0x41 0xEB 0x94 Configuration last modified by 127.0.0.51 at 2-21-08 08:59:27 Local updater ID is 127.0.0.51 on interface EO0/0 (first interface found) Core_A# IDF_G4_SW1#sh spanning vlan 10 VLAN0010 Spanning tree enabled protocol rstp Root ID Priority 32768 Address 001b.0d60.b00a Cost 4 Port 1 (GigabitEthernet1/0/1) Hello Time 2 sec Max Age 20 sec Forward Delay 15 sec Bridge ID Priority 32778 (priority 32768 sys-id-ext 10) Address 001b.d583.7a80 Hello Time 2 sec Max Age 20 sec Forward Delay 15 sec Aging Time 300 Interface Role Sts Cost Prio.Nbr Type ---------------- ---- --- --------- -------- -------------------------------- Gi1/0/1 Root FWD 4 128.1 P2p Gi1/0/2 Altn BLK 4 128.2 P2p Gi2/0/1 Altn BLK 4 128.53 P2p Gi2/0/2 Altn BLK 4 128.54 P2p Gi2/30 1-4094 Gi2/31 1-4094 Gi2/32 1-4094 Po1 1-4094 Port Vlans allowed and active in management domain Gi2/28 1-21 Gi2/29 1-21 Gi2/30 1-21 Gi2/31 1-21 Gi2/32 1-21 Port Vlans allowed and active in management domain Po1 1-21 Port Vlans in spanning tree forwarding state and not pruned Gi2/28 1-21 Gi2/29 1-21 Gi2/30 1-21 Gi2/31 1-21 Gi2/32 1-21 Po1 1-21 Core_A# IDF_G4_SW1#sh spanning vlan 10 VLAN0010 Spanning tree enabled protocol rstp Root ID Priority 32768 Address 001b.0d60.b00a Cost 4 Port 1 (GigabitEthernet1/0/1) Hello Time 2 sec Max Age 20 sec Forward Delay 15 sec Bridge ID Priority 32778 (priority 32768 sys-id-ext 10) Address 001b.d583.7a80 Hello Time 2 sec Max Age 20 sec Forward Delay 15 sec Aging Time 300 Interface Role Sts Cost Prio.Nbr Type ---------------- ---- --- --------- -------- -------------------------------- Gi1/0/1 Root FWD 4 128.1 P2p Gi1/0/2 Altn BLK 4 128.2 P2p Gi2/0/1 Altn BLK 4 128.53 P2p Gi2/0/2 Altn BLK 4 128.54 P2p IDF_G4_SW1#sh vtp stat VTP Version : 2 Configuration Revision : 3 Maximum VLANs supported locally : 1005 Number of existing VLANs : 6 VTP Operating Mode : Client VTP Domain Name : Clinica_Girassol VTP Pruning Mode : Disabled VTP V2 Mode : Disabled VTP Traps Generation : Disabled MD5 digest : 0xB4 0xCA 0x6D 0x6C 0xE1 0x18 0x96 0xDA Configuration last modified by 10.3.56.9 at 3-1-93 01:06:37 Port Mode Encapsulation Status Native vlan Gi1/0/1 on 802.1q trunking 1 Gi1/0/2 on 802.1q trunking 1 Gi2/0/1 on 802.1q trunking 1 Gi2/0/2 on 802.1q trunking 1 Port Vlans allowed on trunk Gi1/0/1 1-4094 Gi1/0/2 1-4094 Gi2/0/1 1-4094 Gi2/0/2 1-4094 Port Vlans allowed and active in management domain Gi1/0/1 1,10 Gi1/0/2 1,10 Gi2/0/1 1,10 Gi2/0/2 1,10 Port Vlans in spanning tree forwarding state and not pruned Gi1/0/1 1,10 Gi1/0/2 none Gi2/0/1 none --More-- Port Vlans in spanning tree forwarding state and not pruned Gi2/0/2 none IDF_G4_SW1#
