I recently got rid of the last VTP client in a cust's network. It was a 2900XL. The switch went okay with a short interruption of traffic for whatever reason. I have seen switches (3500XL) with older IOSes (around 2001) that showed unexpected behaviour after the switch to transparent. It stopped trunking some VLANs but not all. Switching back to Server/Client helped instantly. Also the usual reboot helped like a charm ;) Cheers Sascha _______________________________________________ cisco-nsp mailing list cisco-nsp@puck.nether.net https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/cisco-nsp archive at http://puck.nether.net/pipermail/cisco-nsp/
