The first part of this task asks me to configure Cat1 as VTP server, and others as clients. But then it says "On Cat1 and Cat2, 'show vtp status' should show the loopback1 interface as the local updater ID, and as the preferred interface." My solution was to configure Cat1 and Cat2 as VTP servers, and both with the command "vtp interface lo1" set. I could verify this easily by doing a show vtp status and visually seeing Loopback1 as the preferred interface on both. But the PG's solution (and graded lab script, too) says to configure Cat2 as a client. But when you do a show vtp status on Cat2 as a client, it doesn't show anything about Loopback1 in the output, as suggested by the task requirement.
Is it not safe to say that a VTP server is both a server and a client? In terms of getting VLAN updates, it functions identically to a client, in that the server making the update must have a newer version than the clients or other servers. _______________________________________________ For more information regarding industry leading CCIE Lab training, please visit www.ipexpert.com
