Hi every body.
I have few questions.
My book says , a vtp transparent switch stores vtp info in vlan.dat and in running-config . This vtp con can be saved from running-config to startup-config by using copy running-config startup-config. If the switch relaods and finds the contents of vlan.dat are different from startup-config, switch uses vlan.dat contents.
How can the contents of vlan.dat be different from startup-config?
for example
Sw(config) vtp domain cisco
Switch# copy running-config startup-config.
Now both vlan.dat and startup-config has same vtp info i.e vtp domain cisco
===============================================
Now i change the domain name to test.
switch(config) vtp domain test ( at this point, will switch not update its vlan.dat with new domain name test? )
switch# copy running-config-startup-config
If switch has updated its vlan.dat with new domain name "test", the contents of both vlan.dat and startup-config should be same.
Thanks and have a good day.
