Hi J. Did you ever get any resolution on this?
I was in the same bind where in client mode there is no way to set the preferred interface. I ended up just leaving Cat2 as client, and on the Verified Labs grading the script ended up marking it as correct. The bottom line it seems is that the switch may not be in client mode to set the VTP preferred interface. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of jmangawang Sent: Tuesday, July 14, 2009 1:50 PM To: [email protected] Cc: CCIE OSL Subject: Re: [OSL | CCIE_RS] IPExpert Volume 3 Lab 1 Task 1.1 -VTPserver/client question I just tried your suggestion, and it didn't have any effect. My output is below. I guess I'm making a case to state that the only way to truly meet the requirements, as stated, is to keep Cat2 as a server. It satisfies the condition where the "show vtp status" displays the preferred interface, and it continues to act like a client would, in terms of receiving VTP updates.
