Hello, The switches use the VTP database with the highest config-revision. IE: You can be playing with a switch not attached to the network and then attach it to the network and if it's config-revision is higher it will wipe out the other switches. Changing the VTP domain makes the config-revision 0 again. So it is important to make sure the config-revision is 0 before you plug it into a live network if you don't want this switch to overwrite your VLAN databases. I don't recall offhand the 'show vtp ...' command that shows you what the current config-revision value is but it is there.
Also, be aware that a VTP CLIENT can send out VTP updates and wipe out your VLAN database config. IE: A quick-fix is not to change from Server to client mode.
