Hi Farzad, All you should need to do is make sure the new VTP server initially has a config revision less than your current VTP server. The quickest way to be sure would be to make sure the new VTP server is not connected to the VTP domain, set the VTP mode to server, set the VTP domain to a dummy VTP domain and then set the VTP domain name back to the proper VTP domain, set the VTP password if neccessary (this should ensure the config revision is 0) and then connect it to the network. The new VTP server will inherit the VLAN database when it gets an update from the old VTP server and be synchronised with the same config revision.
Then you are able to create/delete VLANs on either VTP server and have the changes propagated through the VTP domain. Cheers, Adam On Wed, Jul 28, 2010 at 8:59 PM, Farzad A.
