Re: VTP Trunking dangerous [7:33097]
I still don't see the need for VTP??? Have given the password thing some thought before but not sure if needed in a smaller star topology type network. There are no other switchblocks. A good stoning sounds awsome to me. As far as bunnies and spanning tree I've made my core switch root bridge for all routable vlans so there are no more recalculations and I don't wonder why the network is out for 50 sec. while STP recalculats. Well it wouldn't take that long in my simple star to calctopology environment (not much to calculate) Mike Sweeney wrote: LOL- you have those nice people too?

VTP Trunking dangerous [7:33097]
Thanks for your input on this I agree VTP could be good if you have many switchblocks in a campus environment. In my environment there is only one distribution 5500 with all closet switches patching back to the CAT 5500 . In a star topology. I'm just not convinced that everyone will follow policy and drop in a access switch with the VTP default server setting and muck everything up.

RE: VTP Trunking dangerous [7:33097]
Then use VTP and password it. They can drop a switch but without the password configured, it's ignored. See the following link for details: http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/473/21.html#v2 It's best to have things like spanning tree, VTP and whatnot set up since few of us are seers and can predict the future with any amount of certainity. It's always nice to be ahead of the game when planning things like network growth.

Re: VTP Trunking dangerous [7:33097]
not to mention those little bunnies who don't want to waste the busy network people's time so install their own cheap switches and hubs onto the LAN, dual homing them, and wreaking havoc with spanning tree when they power up and power down their non-authorized equipment. ;- Chuck Mike Sweeney wrote in message [EMAIL PROTECTED]">news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]...
