Hello I have three catalyst switches . One Server VTP, Two clients VTP
I want to migrate to transparent mode on all .
Do I lose my Vlans ? Coud I do somthing like this on client: (config)# vtp mode transparent - and then i will not remove my vlans? Should I make after this (config)# vlan 222 .................name test vlan (because I have not Vlan in running config on client)
What Should I do on server?
Hey there,
You'll not loose any of the vlans already on there.
The server - client relationship is only to do with the creation and deletion of vlans in the vtp domain.
if you do a "sh vlan" on one of your switches that is in client mode, then change it to be in transparent mode, none of them will disappear. It will simply stop listening to vtp messages regarding the creation and deletion of vlans.
Out of curiosity, why are you dropping vtp server/client ?

1.In client Server mode maximum number of vlan is about 1000 (don't remember) (I must set Vlan2000 to work with other network)
What about vlan command ? in Client server mode there is not Vlan command in run-conf but in server and transparent it is
A switch can only create vlans when it is in vtp server or vtp transparent mode. When it is set to client, all it can do is listen.
