VTP client not working?

jcmattos1

Level 1

We have 2 6509's w/ IOS one is setup as server and the other is client we have a link between the 2 with 10G. However, the vlans are not propagating to the client. The VTP domain name is correct and no password is used. Any ideas?

On the client, try setting it to vtp transparent, then re-apply the domain name &, exit vtp mode using "exit".

Check that it is correct.

Then re-enter vtp config and set the device to client mode, again end with exit, not ctrl-Z.

There might be a space behind the domain name.

Thx Leo...Still no luck! I checked the cdp neighbors and it shows it on the server side but nothing on the client side very unusual?

Do you have a trunk between the two switches. Can you post the following output from both switches.

show int trunk

show vtp statistics

I see joins being received but none transmitted...very unusual?

Not having CDP info on both sides may be an indication of a unidirectional link. You should adress that issue first.

VTP is in fact pretty easy and from the info provided, I cannot see any real reason why it doesn't work here. Please check the links below:

I agree you may have uni link if you don't have cdp on both sides . One reason why I don't use the switchport mode trunk command . because the trunk can still look up even though its not working right. Switchport mode dynamic desirable lets it negotiate and will also bring the trunk down if you run inot a unidirectional link , you could also use something like UDLD for this also .

Looks like UDLD it is, what are some things to look for?

Are you sure you are looking at the correct corresponding ports , your one side shows bidirectional which means it has a complete path while the other side shows unknown and link down , can't have it bidirectional on one side and link down on the other and with not showing cdp on one side , verify with cdp on the side you can see as to the port on the far end . Still sounds like the link is not correct . If you do a show int trunk on each side what does it look like ? Also not seeing the config make sure the native vlan matches on each side of the link otherwise the trunk will not work correctly. Also the last post is a little confusing too if you look at the udld infor for the one you posted it looks like your corresponding port is TE1/2 not 1/1 like you posted for the one that is shown as down so to me it looks like it is TE1/2 on router F1 and TE1/3 on D2 . Look at the parameters on both those ports and post the show run int TE1/2 on F1 and a show runn int TE1/3 on D2 .

The Port ID: entry tells me the remote device is source from T1/2 not T1/1.

You are looking at the wrong port on SW-CA-DC-F1.mitchell.com

Thx edison! I did post the wrong port t1/2 was the actual trunk. So i removed portfast trunk and the udld came up bidir immediately...but vtp info is still not being passed from the client...i can connect fine but vlans are still not being propagated to the client...Ive exausted all means and TAC is scratching there heads...please help! This may help, It coverges properly over 1gig but not over 10gig???

Can you post the show runn int te1/2 from the one side and sh runn int te1/1 for the other side here . Also if these are the only 2 devices running vtp then you might try changing the vtp domain name to something simple to test like "abc" and make sure you don't hit the space bar at the end . Also please post "show int trunk " along with the other info. also i don't know if this makes any difference or not but you have vtp pruning mode enabled on one side and not the other so you might try changing that just to make both sides equal.

Did you implement 'vtp passwords' on any of the switches ?

Passwords must match ....

No VTP passwords used, here is the info again:
