You can set all switchs as domain server or elect one core switch as server and others
as clien. Just do set vtp domain 'name' command on each switch. You don't to do
anything else. The valn name is just like an alias, it doesn't affect the functinality.
You can not mannual change the VTP revision unless you reboot a VTP server switch.
Hope it helps,
