Also CCNP and CCIE ENCOR 350-401 Official Cert Guide 2nd Edition (page 96) says that there are 4 roles in VTP, not 3 - Server, Client, Transparent and Off. I suppose it better to be aware of this being preparing for exam.

I just want to say thanks for these videos. I've tried out multiple courses over the last few weeks, and have constantly felt overwhelmed when watching them. It made me feel like I wasn't up to the task of learning this stuff, and I nearly gave up all together. Your videos were the first time I ever felt capable of understanding the subject matter. I think most courses simply underestimate the importance of repetition and association. They mostly discuss a subject once, regardless of complexity, and then simply assume you understand everything and move on. The Anki cards you added are really a great resource in that regard. I started out with just the cards you made, but added tons of my own to help me study. There's just so much to remember, but your approach makes it feel managable. So, keep up the good work. Eventhough this course isn't finished yet, your videos are definately what made me decide to get my CCNA.
Thank you so much for this comment, really made my day. I do agree with you about some courses, not just for CCNA but for anything. There are plenty of CCNA instructors with more experience than me (people who have had their CCNA for decades, while I've had my CCNA for 2 and CCNP for 1.5), but I think the fact that I'm still 'fresh' helps me understand what its like to study the material from zero. Hopefully that helps make my course understandable! Good on you for making your own flashcards too, I highly recommend it. Make your own, delete any of mine that don't work for you, or edit and reword them, etc.
Coming into this with zero experience, I have to say that your breakdown of topics is concise, and your incorporation of ANKI is fantastic. I think it's sorely needed throughout various learning tools. I think I'll be pausing progress here and review a while because I've been in the weeds since day 17. Thank you Jeremy!
Today is the 10th day of my study. When I felt perplexed in your videos because of my weak foundation, I opened the official guide. As I looked at the official explanation, I found that it is not as concise as you. The official guide made me more nonplussed. What’s more, I used the “search” function to search keywords, I got too many results. I didn’t know which was the best search result to learn from. Because when I looked at detail, I found more terminology I’ve never seen. Finally I choose to watch your video again.

Hey Jeremy, I am loving the content. I have a question concerning question 1. If the old switch is in "dynamic desirable" mode by default and SW1 interface is in "access" mode. According to the table shown earlier at 9:58 , wouldn't it become an access port too?
In that case it would become an access port. However the question states that a trunk was formed, so we know that SW1's interface wasn't configured in access mode.

I have a doubt.. if anyone could answer..Thanks in advance.. 6:47 A switchport in dynamic desirable mode will actively try to fom a trunk with other cisco switches. It will form a trunk if connected to another switchport in following modes: Switchport mode trunk and switchport mode dynamic desirable. 29:12 In quiz question 1: How is trunk formed between two switches? My understanding is: SW1 interface is operating in access port mode (As per question) and older spare switch will default to switchport mode dynamic desirable. So in this scenario, trunk will not form and both will operate as access ports. Am I missing something here?

@12:30 "The DTP frames that DTP uses to negotiate are sent in VLAN 1 WHEN using ISL". But aren't we using DTP frames to negotiate between ISL or dot1q??
Good question! When the first DTP frames are sent (before the switches have agreed upon access vs trunk and ISL vs dot1q), both interfaces are access ports. So, there is no VLAN tag (no ISL or dot1q tag). If they then agree that they will form a trunk connection, if they decide to use dot1q the frames are sent untagged in the default VLAN (which is 1), but if they decide to use ISL the frames will be tagged in VLAN 1.
Two things you need to know to solve this question: 1. New Cisco switches default to 'switchport mode dynamic desirable' 2. Old Cisco switches defaulted to 'switchport mode dynamic auto' The question says the connected interfaces are OPERATING as access ports. It doesn't say they are CONFIGURED as access ports. So, when you remove one of the new switches and connect an old switch, a trunk is formed. Why is that? It's because the NEW switch had the default 'switchport mode dynamic auto' configuration, but the OLD switch which you just connected has the default 'switchport mode dynamic desirable' configuration. Auto + Desirable = a trunk is formed. Before, when the two new switches were connected, both had the default 'switchport mode dynamic auto' configuration. Auto + Auto will operate as an access port.
in quiz 1 A) can also be true. If SW 1 is in dynamic mode, it would cause mode trunk comunications between SW1 and old one. Broken SW2 could have been set to access and communication could also be Access since SW 1 is in dynamic mode. correct me if im wrong pls... anyway - thanks for your effort, I'm spreading this course as much as possible to all of my IT friends! big up
I made notes before but this is probably a good time for me to make elaborate notes and also add info from the book into my Anki set. What's your recommendation of cards to study a day, Jeremy? Mine is set at 200. I feel maybe it's not enough.
@@JeremysITLab thank you for your reply, I didn't know that could be taken off on anki. I'll try to take off the limit. The default is 20 new cards per day.
At 13:15, so if I configure both switches with either dynamic desirable/dynamic auto/trunk mode, but after that make sure to configure "switchport nonegotiate", will the nonegotiate override? Or will the switches still send DTP frames?
@@JeremysITLab haha silly me i missed your lab. the very first task you put on your lab answers my question. again awesome lab! thanks so much for all your efforts into your course! it just gets better and better!
Hey mate, I have actually purchased Kevin wallaces CCNA video's from Cisco press and watched them entirely. All I can say is they're shit compared to the material you produce. You're videos are excellent and the use of anki is AMAZING, It's so under utilized in all education. I really appreciate the effort and will continue to watch / support the channel. Thanks :)
@@JeremysITLab No Worries :) One suggestion regarding Anki. I think some future answers would be helpful if they were accompanied by visuals. For example, a questions asking "how many bytes is the peramble." The answer should include a photo of an Ethernet header. This supplies a visual aid, and helps visually identity the frame as a whole and the preambles location within the header / frame. Here is an example photo I pulled from google. images.app.goo.gl/z4NFjkKK7zFsnRXq8 Thanks again! :)
Hey jeremy ur videos are pure pleasure to watch i till now couldnt find more easy explicit contznt as yours out there just one question i couldnt wrap my mind around the meaning of dot1q frameq are sent in native vlan and isl frames in vlan1?? Can u plz help ty vm if anyone can help i will be very thankfull
switchport trunk encapsulation negotiate: This command enables the port to negotiate the trunking encapsulation protocol (ISL or 802.1Q) with the connected device if DTP is active. If DTP is disabled, the port will not negotiate the encapsulation type, and you must manually configure the encapsulation with switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q or switchport trunk encapsulation isl. switchport nonegotiate: This command disables DTP on the port, which means the port will not send or respond to DTP frames. As a result, the port will not automatically negotiate whether the link should be trunk or access, nor will it negotiate the encapsulation method (ISL or 802.1Q).
Yow Jeremy, I just learned that you are also fluent in Japanese. That's amazing! Jeremy's Nihongo Class when? 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Kidding aside, thanks for the lessons, I'm learning very well. 😄
Hi Jeremy. Thanks for the excellent videos. How long it takes to see the synchronization done between switches. I used the same config in Packet tracer where all the switched were using version 2 and where using default settings. When I added a new vlan and a domain name on the SW1, it didn't synchronize with the other switches where the vlan DB didn't include the newly added VLAN on SW1 and revision number was not updated. The domain name was still null on the other switched. I followed the example in the video.
VTP isn't timer based, messages are only sent out when a change occurs. If you're doing it in packet tracer, occasionally things don't work exactly as they should, though.
Could you please give examples to when is it better to configure a switch port as dynamic desirable and when to configure it as dynamic auto? Also in VTP, if I connect a new switch to the network, it will not update its database unless a new a modification is done, is there a way to update its database manually?
The only best practice regarding DTP is to disable it. Never use DTP in a real network! To force the VTP server(s) to send out an update (and make the new switch sync), create a new VLAN on the server and then delete it. It will send out an update each time, and the new switch will sync.
@@JeremysITLab Thanks a lot Jeremy, I know I ask a lot of questions, but that's because I like your course and I would really like to get the most out of it.
I don't mean to come across as overly critical, but from my understanding, changing a switch's VTP domain name to any other name, whether it's an unused one or not, will reset the revision number to 0, and thanks for your amazing courses!
Yooo Jeremy ! Thanks again for this great content. I had a question in regards VTP, you mentioned is not really secure and it’s not used in modern networks…so what is used then now a days to synchronize or distribute VLANS across switches in a modern and secure way ?? Regards
Hello Jeremy! In the beginning you said that the DTP and VTP were removed from the topic of the CCNA exam, but what about the next levels, like CCNP or CCIE?
Can someone clarify this for me: at @17:01 he says "Will advertise their VLAN database, and forward VTP advertisement to other clients over their trunk port". I understand the second part: they forward the advertisement they receive from the server, buy I don't get the first part: why would a client advertise their database?
I guess vlan.dat is stored in flash memory of switch and not nvRAM for VTP servers and VTP clients. Please correct me if I'm wrong @Jeremy Also, I guess there are 4 VTP modes. server, client, transparent and OFF. Please clarify.
Check out this document from Cisco: www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/switches/lan/catalyst3750/software/release/15-0_2_se/configuration/guide/scg3750/swvtp.html#42137 In version 1 and 2, Servers/Transparents store the VLAN configurations in NVRAM. In version 3, all three modes store the configuration in NVRAM. You're right, VTP version 3 has 'vtp mode off' in addition to the three modes of version 1 and 2.
isnt quiz 1 supposed to form an access port? since SW1 and SW2 were operating as access ports and we switched out SW2 for a switch using dynamic desirable. my only guess is that SW1 is set to dynamic desirable or auto.
They are all on the same domain. If SW2 is in ‘VTP transparent’ mode, it doesn’t matter if it’s in the same domain. It will never sync it’s database to a VTP server. It will however, forward SW1’s advertisements to SW3.
@@JeremysITLab yeah, exactly, that's why I mentioned in my first comment that it almost got me Confused, but then I figured out that they all are in the same domain, thank you very much for your follow up and confirming. 👍
I am sorry, at 21:58 you say "ALL HOSTS will lose connectivity". I just want to clarify for myself why the hosts will lose connectivity if we do not configure VLANs on the hosts / PCs? Since after synchronization all the data in all switches will be the same, shouldn't the PCs/hosts work? I mean at what point, between what points will there be a mismatch? Maybe between Switch1, which is a server and Router, because In case with Switch Layer 2 traffic goes through Router, which is understood, but if SW layer 3 forward traffic directly to other networks? If this is Native Vlan, then the hosts should not lose connections in this case, in all other cases the hosts will lose their connection, did I understand correctly?
As always, great videos! Thanks Jeremey!! Just an observation as I am trying to wrap my head in this subject (everything is new to me by the way)...If it is recommended to disable DTP and to manually configure the ports, than why does Cisco enable DTP by default? Would it not be best to have DTP disabled by default and enabled by the IT tech according to the users parameters?
Hi Jeremy! As for the DTP frames sent in the native VLAN when using 802.1Q. If the native VLAN on one switch is different that the other, let's say SW1 has native VLAN100 and SW2 has native VLAN200, are there will be any problems or DTP negotiation will still be established? Also about VTP if a new switch with higher revision number is added to our topology and it's in the same VTP domain but it is acting like VTP client instead of VTP server, it will still create problems to our topology? All switches will sync their VLAN databases to the new switch?
I try it out and I find some things: 1) DTP negotiation was still established with switches having different native VLANs. Is it correct or it has something to do with packet tracer? 2) In a different scenario I connect three switches in a row. The left one operates as a server, the middle one as transparent and the right one as a client. Server and client are in the same VTP domain and the transparent is in a different one or in null, but VTP advertisements from the server are still received by the client. Why is that? I thought the transparent would forward the advertisements to the client only if it was in the same domain with the server and client. 3) Again another scenario, I connect a new switch in my topology acting as a client with the default null domain and a higher revision number than the main VTP server I had and all switches sync their databases with the new client one. So servers can sync to a client?
Hi Jeremy, I know it may seem to be a stupid question, but could you explain the context of 'advertise', 'advertisement'? Does advertise mean it forwards information to to other switches/routers?
Good question, and you're basically correct. A VTP 'advertisement' includes information about the VLANs that exist on the VTP server switch. The clients receive the advertisement and compare it to their own VLANs, and then update their VLAN database if their VLAN database differs from the information they received in the adverisement. For example, if a client has VLANs 10, 20, and 30 in its VLAN database, and then receives a VTP advertisement from a server with VLANs 10, 20, 30, and 40, the client will update its VLAN database to include VLAN 40.
Thought I answered this, but seems the reply didn't go through. If you can afford it, ExSim labs are better in my opinion, not just the labs themselves but the explanations etc are really helpful. David Bombal's labs are fantastic too though, and considering their price they are a great option.
You said that unless we use the switchport nonegotiate command, the switches won't stop sending the DTP frames. I used it on both the switches, but they still formed a trunk when both of them were manually configured into the trunk mode. Why?
They form a trunk because they were both manually configured as trunks. You don't need DTP to form a trunk, DTP just allows the switch to automatically determine if the interface should be an access port or a trunk port.
Thank You Jeremy for great and easy to follow CCNA course. Using PT with lab19 SW2. I changed VTP to Transparent mode, and change Domain name other than CCNA then I added new Vlan in SW1. Now SW2 shouldn't advertise to other switches (SW3) because it has different domain name correct? but when I checked SW3, I found the new Vlan got listed there automatically. Is that an issue with PT? Thx!
Thank you so much for this journy , if can i ask is this the last video you will post about CCNA 200-301 i mean about theorique things . and again ty so much
In quiz, question 1.the switchport on SW1 is assumed to be "access mode", so no trunk will be created when connect to an old Switch with default setting "switchport mode dynamic desirable",isn't it?
They're operating as access mode, it doesn't mean that they were configured as access mode. SW1 could be in "dynamic auto" and the SW2 in "dynamic auto", it will form an access. The old spare switch who replaced the SW2 could be in "trunk" or "dynamic desirable", it will form a trunk. So, the SW1 could be in "dynamic auto" and SW2 was in "dynamic desirable". It formed a trunk.
Dynamic Auto: Passively waits for DTP frames before converting the link to a trunk link. So IF THERE İS NOT DTP FRAME ON THE LİNK İT REMAİNS AS ACCESS and remember trunk da and dde modes dtp enabled modes always send dtp freames into link
thank you soo much ...this helped me a lot ...by the way many people are unable to pay for practice exam questions ....is there any free resource to prepare for the exam ??
About VTP Revisions problem. It seems easy to fix no? When the old switch is added why not reset the revisions as its being added to a different network? Or there could be other solutions put in place. Seems odd to just not use a functionality(as theres a reason it was added in the first place) because of a fixable problem.
Thanks for using my link! After you've studied all of the exam topics, take each of the practice exams and study your weak points in between, they'll get you ready for the real exam better than anything else.
They're operating as access mode doesn't mean that SW1 was configured as access mode. SW1 could be configured as "dynamic auto" and the SW2 as "dynamic auto" or "access", it would form an access. When SW2 was replaced, SW1 was as "dynamic auto" and the switch who replaced SW2 was as "trunk mode" or "dynamic desirable", it formed a trunk.
ERRATA: At 22:34, the slide should read 'VTP Transparent', not 'VLAN Transparent'.
You're the best

If they then agree that they will form a trunk connection, if they decide to use dot1q the frames are sent untagged in the default VLAN (which is 1), but if they decide to use ISL the frames will be tagged in VLAN 1.
@@JeremysITLab So, Initially if the ports are access ports then how can DTP frames travel within them??
@@sundaramg3439 They just send the frames. Because they are access ports, they don't add VLAN tag (ISL or dot1q tag)
@@JeremysITLab Thank You so Much J. Your responses like this means a lot to the viewers ❤ 👏👏👏
Thank you Jeremy, God bless you brother
It seems first question in quiz is wrong ? How does it make trunk when sw1 in access port and other one in desirable mode
Two things you need to know to solve this question:
1. New Cisco switches default to 'switchport mode dynamic desirable'
2. Old Cisco switches defaulted to 'switchport mode dynamic auto'
The question says the connected interfaces are OPERATING as access ports. It doesn't say they are CONFIGURED as access ports. So, when you remove one of the new switches and connect an old switch, a trunk is formed. Why is that? It's because the NEW switch had the default 'switchport mode dynamic auto' configuration, but the OLD switch which you just connected has the default 'switchport mode dynamic desirable' configuration. Auto + Desirable = a trunk is formed. Before, when the two new switches were connected, both had the default 'switchport mode dynamic auto' configuration. Auto + Auto will operate as an access port.
in quiz 1 A) can also be true. If SW 1 is in dynamic mode, it would cause mode trunk comunications between SW1 and old one. Broken SW2 could have been set to access and communication could also be Access since SW 1 is in dynamic mode. correct me if im wrong pls... anyway - thanks for your effort, I'm spreading this course as much as possible to all of my IT friends! big up
Old Cisco switches don’t default to ‘switchport mode trunk’, so A’s statement is incorrect.
Thanks for spreading the course! Glad you like it :)
Thanks a lot for your efforts 🙏
I just want to ask if these 34 videos enough to pass CCNA EXAM ?
or I would need to study from extra sources ?
This course isn't finished yet, so you will need extra resources for sure!
I trust you and i will study with your videos step by step until you finish .
Thanks again Jeremy
Nice demonstration of VRP
Thanks
You mentioned VTP is Dangerous if Latest revision comes in ..what else to use for auto vlan management
I made notes before but this is probably a good time for me to make elaborate notes and also add info from the book into my Anki set.
What's your recommendation of cards to study a day, Jeremy? Mine is set at 200. I feel maybe it's not enough.
I don't set any limit for the number!
@@JeremysITLab thank you for your reply, I didn't know that could be taken off on anki. I'll try to take off the limit. The default is 20 new cards per day.
Even though this topic isn't covered in CCNA, Jeremy stills manage to make it a 30min long video PACKED with information
Thank you for providing us with this amazing content.
Looking forward for the next one.
Thanks alot !
Thanks! Next one will be coming this weekend.
Full of practical knowledge. thank you
Thanks, Sumi :)
At 13:15, so if I configure both switches with either dynamic desirable/dynamic auto/trunk mode, but after that make sure to configure "switchport nonegotiate", will the nonegotiate override? Or will the switches still send DTP frames?
Try it out in packet tracer!
@@JeremysITLab haha silly me i missed your lab. the very first task you put on your lab answers my question. again awesome lab! thanks so much for all your efforts into your course! it just gets better and better!
Hey mate, I have actually purchased Kevin wallaces CCNA video's from Cisco press and watched them entirely. All I can say is they're shit compared to the material you produce. You're videos are excellent and the use of anki is AMAZING, It's so under utilized in all education. I really appreciate the effort and will continue to watch / support the channel.
Thanks :)
Wow thank you! I totally agree about Anki, I wish I knew about it when I was in school, it would have made things MUCH easier.
@@JeremysITLab No Worries :) One suggestion regarding Anki. I think some future answers would be helpful if they were accompanied by visuals. For example, a questions asking "how many bytes is the peramble." The answer should include a photo of an Ethernet header. This supplies a visual aid, and helps visually identity the frame as a whole and the preambles location within the header / frame.
Here is an example photo I pulled from google.

Hey jeremy ur videos are pure pleasure to watch i till now couldnt find more easy explicit contznt as yours out there just one question i couldnt wrap my mind around the meaning of dot1q frameq are sent in native vlan and isl frames in vlan1?? Can u plz help ty vm if anyone can help i will be very thankfull
You are a great teacher. Thank you very much.
I would like to know,
how oft do you upload or make these videos?
Once a week!
Thanks Jeremy for your time. This tutorial was helpful
switchport trunk encapsulation negotiate:
This command enables the port to negotiate the trunking encapsulation protocol (ISL or 802.1Q) with the connected device if DTP is active.
If DTP is disabled, the port will not negotiate the encapsulation type, and you must manually configure the encapsulation with switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q or switchport trunk encapsulation isl.
switchport nonegotiate:
This command disables DTP on the port, which means the port will not send or respond to DTP frames.
As a result, the port will not automatically negotiate whether the link should be trunk or access, nor will it negotiate the encapsulation method (ISL or 802.1Q).
Yow Jeremy, I just learned that you are also fluent in Japanese. That's amazing! Jeremy's Nihongo Class when? 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Kidding aside, thanks for the lessons, I'm learning very well. 😄
No plans at the moment :P
Hi Jeremy. Thanks for the excellent videos. How long it takes to see the synchronization done between switches. I used the same config in Packet tracer where all the switched were using version 2 and where using default settings. When I added a new vlan and a domain name on the SW1, it didn't synchronize with the other switches where the vlan DB didn't include the newly added VLAN on SW1 and revision number was not updated. The domain name was still null on the other switched. I followed the example in the video.
VTP isn't timer based, messages are only sent out when a change occurs. If you're doing it in packet tracer, occasionally things don't work exactly as they should, though.
12:18 Isn't 802.1q is preferred over ISL in Cisco devices as I remember in previous video?
Hi Louis! Can you point out where I said Cisco devices will select 802.1Q over ISL?
@@JeremysITLab Hi Sir, it's on day 17 lecture video, 7:15
Hi Jeremy. Great job!
But VTP doesn´t include in the CCNA.
At least that´s what the CISCO CCNA 200-301 Books says. What do you think?
Thanks a lot
Watch the video, I mention my thoughts about that multiple times :)
Could you please give examples to when is it better to configure a switch port as dynamic desirable and when to configure it as dynamic auto?
Also in VTP, if I connect a new switch to the network, it will not update its database unless a new a modification is done, is there a way to update its database manually?
The only best practice regarding DTP is to disable it. Never use DTP in a real network!
To force the VTP server(s) to send out an update (and make the new switch sync), create a new VLAN on the server and then delete it. It will send out an update each time, and the new switch will sync.
@@JeremysITLab Thanks a lot Jeremy, I know I ask a lot of questions, but that's because I like your course and I would really like to get the most out of it.
I don't mean to come across as overly critical, but from my understanding, changing a switch's VTP domain name to any other name, whether it's an unused one or not, will reset the revision number to 0, and thanks for your amazing courses!
Thank you, this is another excellent video.
Thank you :)
Yooo Jeremy ! Thanks again for this great content. I had a question in regards VTP, you mentioned is not really secure and it’s not used in modern networks…so what is used then now a days to synchronize or distribute VLANS across switches in a modern and secure way ?? Regards
Hello Jeremy! In the beginning you said that the DTP and VTP were removed from the topic of the CCNA exam, but what about the next levels, like CCNP or CCIE?
You will need to know them for the higher level exams!
I struggled in the 10 minutes of the lecture but the rest of the tutorial is much more enjoyable
Hi Jeremy, is it still worthy to do CCNA, CCNP for getting job. Please reply. Thank you
Can someone clarify this for me:
at @17:01 he says "Will advertise their VLAN database, and forward VTP advertisement to other clients over their trunk port".
I understand the second part: they forward the advertisement they receive from the server, buy I don't get the first part: why would a client advertise their database?
I guess vlan.dat is stored in flash memory of switch and not nvRAM for VTP servers and VTP clients. Please correct me if I'm wrong @Jeremy
Also, I guess there are 4 VTP modes. server, client, transparent and OFF.
Please clarify.
Check out this document from Cisco:
www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/switches/lan/catalyst3750/software/release/15-0_2_se/configuration/guide/scg3750/swvtp.html#42137
In version 1 and 2, Servers/Transparents store the VLAN configurations in NVRAM. In version 3, all three modes store the configuration in NVRAM.
You're right, VTP version 3 has 'vtp mode off' in addition to the three modes of version 1 and 2.
@@JeremysITLab thanks for the link. I will check it out.
Thanks you so much for this series. Learning alot :)
isnt quiz 1 supposed to form an access port? since SW1 and SW2 were operating as access ports and we switched out SW2 for a switch using dynamic desirable. my only guess is that SW1 is set to dynamic desirable or auto.
Quiz Q2 almost got me confused, I figured that all switches are on the same domain, but I believe it's worth mentioning.
They are all on the same domain. If SW2 is in ‘VTP transparent’ mode, it doesn’t matter if it’s in the same domain. It will never sync it’s database to a VTP server. It will however, forward SW1’s advertisements to SW3.
@@JeremysITLab 24:40 in that example you mentioned that if it was on different domain, sw4 won't get the sw2 advertised vtp, or maybe I misunderstood
@@5Incognito Yes, but in Q2 it doesn't say they are in different domains.
@@JeremysITLab yeah, exactly, that's why I mentioned in my first comment that it almost got me Confused, but then I figured out that they all are in the same domain, thank you very much for your follow up and confirming. 👍
Hey Jeremy.
What is then used instead of VTP to advertise the VLAN information toe the Neibourgh switches.
Jeremy! Love the videos. Is there a day 19 video Lab?
I am sorry, at 21:58 you say "ALL HOSTS will lose connectivity". I just want to clarify for myself why the hosts will lose connectivity if we do not configure VLANs on the hosts / PCs? Since after synchronization all the data in all switches will be the same, shouldn't the PCs/hosts work? I mean at what point, between what points will there be a mismatch? Maybe between Switch1, which is a server and Router, because In case with Switch Layer 2 traffic goes through Router, which is understood, but if SW layer 3 forward traffic directly to other networks? If this is Native Vlan, then the hosts should not lose connections in this case, in all other cases the hosts will lose their connection, did I understand correctly?
Great Work Jeremy !!
Thank you!
As always, great videos! Thanks Jeremey!!
Just an observation as I am trying to wrap my head in this subject (everything is new to me by the way)...If it is recommended to disable DTP and to manually configure the ports, than why does Cisco enable DTP by default? Would it not be best to have DTP disabled by default and enabled by the IT tech according to the users parameters?
Hi Jeremy - I haIs it common to set all the switch ports to trunk on native vlan1? and why is that? Thank you sir~
Hi Jeremy. I re-watched the video again. I understand now. Thank you very much sir.
Nice, I'm glad you understand it :)
Hi Jeremy! As for the DTP frames sent in the native VLAN when using 802.1Q. If the native VLAN on one switch is different that the other, let's say SW1 has native VLAN100 and SW2 has native VLAN200, are there will be any problems or DTP negotiation will still be established? Also about VTP if a new switch with higher revision number is added to our topology and it's in the same VTP domain but it is acting like VTP client instead of VTP server, it will still create problems to our topology? All switches will sync their VLAN databases to the new switch?
Try it out in packet tracer!
I try it out and I find some things:
1) DTP negotiation was still established with switches having different native VLANs. Is it correct or it has something to do with packet tracer?
2) In a different scenario I connect three switches in a row. The left one operates as a server, the middle one as transparent and the right one as a client. Server and client are in the same VTP domain and the transparent is in a different one or in null, but VTP advertisements from the server are still received by the client. Why is that? I thought the transparent would forward the advertisements to the client only if it was in the same domain with the server and client.
3) Again another scenario, I connect a new switch in my topology acting as a client with the default null domain and a higher revision number than the main VTP server I had and all switches sync their databases with the new client one. So servers can sync to a client?
Kudos for a Great Effort, Sir
Thank you!
can you please make a video on wireless routers configuration in a big firm?
Thank you very much Jeremy for this video!
Hi Jeremy If two switchport are dynamic desirable ? can make trunk!
Hi Jeremy, I know it may seem to be a stupid question, but could you explain the context of 'advertise', 'advertisement'? Does advertise mean it forwards information to to other switches/routers?
Good question, and you're basically correct. A VTP 'advertisement' includes information about the VLANs that exist on the VTP server switch. The clients receive the advertisement and compare it to their own VLANs, and then update their VLAN database if their VLAN database differs from the information they received in the adverisement.
For example, if a client has VLANs 10, 20, and 30 in its VLAN database, and then receives a VTP advertisement from a server with VLANs 10, 20, 30, and 40, the client will update its VLAN database to include VLAN 40.
@@JeremysITLab Got it. Thank you for the explanation.
Yo J....I trust your judgment, so I'll ask. Which would you most recommend, ExSim for CCNA labs or Ultimate Packet Tracer ??
Thought I answered this, but seems the reply didn't go through. If you can afford it, ExSim labs are better in my opinion, not just the labs themselves but the explanations etc are really helpful. David Bombal's labs are fantastic too though, and considering their price they are a great option.
Hi, great explanation ! thanks a lot.
Thanks Samil!
4:48 switch port enabled you said because it layer 2 switch but your using a multilayer switch 1 it operates on layer 3 am I telling right?
I said 'layer 2 port'. Multilayer switches are still switches, they can have switch ports and routed (Layer 3) ports.
@@JeremysITLab ok thanks
You said that unless we use the switchport nonegotiate command, the switches won't stop sending the DTP frames. I used it on both the switches, but they still formed a trunk when both of them were manually configured into the trunk mode. Why?
They form a trunk because they were both manually configured as trunks. You don't need DTP to form a trunk, DTP just allows the switch to automatically determine if the interface should be an access port or a trunk port.
@@JeremysITLab Thanks Jeremy.
Hi bro ! When will this ccna course end ???
And brw superb explanation!!!
It'll end sometime this year, not sure exactly when.
Thank You Jeremy for great and easy to follow CCNA course.
Using PT with lab19 SW2. I changed VTP to Transparent mode, and change Domain name other than CCNA then I added new Vlan in SW1. Now SW2 shouldn't advertise to other switches (SW3) because it has different domain name correct? but when I checked SW3, I found the new Vlan got listed there automatically. Is that an issue with PT? Thx!
Thanks Jeremy great work and very helpful
Thank you!
Thank you so much for this journy , if can i ask is this the last video you will post about CCNA 200-301 i mean about theorique things . and again ty so much
Not Unknown No this won’t be the last, there are still very many topics I haven’t covered. I’m about 50% finished.
@@JeremysITLab Oh thx so much
Awesome video. Thank you
Jeremy is it enough to rely on your videos and flashcards and labs to pass the test ?
Maybe, but I personally recommend using multiple resources
In quiz, question 1.the switchport on SW1 is assumed to be "access mode", so no trunk will be created when connect to an old Switch with default setting "switchport mode dynamic desirable",isn't it?
They're operating as access mode, it doesn't mean that they were configured as access mode. SW1 could be in "dynamic auto" and the SW2 in "dynamic auto", it will form an access. The old spare switch who replaced the SW2 could be in "trunk" or "dynamic desirable", it will form a trunk.
So, the SW1 could be in "dynamic auto" and SW2 was in "dynamic desirable". It formed a trunk.
Dynamic Auto: Passively waits for DTP frames before converting the link to a trunk link. So IF THERE İS NOT DTP FRAME ON THE LİNK İT REMAİNS AS ACCESS and remember trunk da and dde modes dtp enabled modes always send dtp freames into link
thank you soo much ...this helped me a lot ...by the way many people are unable to pay for practice exam questions ....is there any free resource to prepare for the exam ??
About VTP Revisions problem. It seems easy to fix no? When the old switch is added why not reset the revisions as its being added to a different network? Or there could be other solutions put in place. Seems odd to just not use a functionality(as theres a reason it was added in the first place) because of a fixable problem.
Used ur link to buy Boson prep exam 🤙
Thanks for using my link! After you've studied all of the exam topics, take each of the practice exams and study your weak points in between, they'll get you ready for the real exam better than anything else.
Is ISL really favored over Dot1Q? Cisco sources say Dot1Q is more commonly used and preferred
day 19. let's go DTP/VTP.
Awesome video!
Thank you:)
so these amazing videos has been on youtube for 3 years and i didn't watch them? :(
No better time than the present!
for quiz question 1, as sw1 interface is access port, and old swtich sw2 is switchport mode dynamic desirable, isn't its a mismatch???
They're operating as access mode doesn't mean that SW1 was configured as access mode. SW1 could be configured as "dynamic auto" and the SW2 as "dynamic auto" or "access", it would form an access. When SW2 was replaced, SW1 was as "dynamic auto" and the switch who replaced SW2 was as "trunk mode" or "dynamic desirable", it formed a trunk.
