Extended VLAN(s) not allowed in current VTP mode open original image

goal here is to add a couple of extended vlans (in 2000-3000) range to a client switch. these vlans should not be broadcast across the domain. is it possible to add to a client switch?



I've actually tried adding to the server switch as well and get the same error.

Have you tried doing it in transparent mode?

I want this switch to be in client mode in general to pick up other vlan changes in the domain. can i put it in transparent temporarily to add these vlans then move it back to client without those vlans going away?

Yes, but you will lose if the extended-vlans if the switch reboots.
