I just wanted to say that you are blessing in my and many lives and highly recommended in the Spiceworks community. Thank you so much for the no-nonsense, methodological approach that you take. The heart of a great leader has the mind of a passionate teacher.
Just a note - you don’t have to set the VTP domains on all client switches. They will auto detect the VTP domain once you connect to a neighboring VTP server.
In order for a VTP client switch to participate in a VTP domain, it must be configured with the same VTP domain name as the VTP server switch. When a VTP client switch is connected to a VTP server switch, it will automatically learn the VTP domain name from the VTP advertisements sent by the server. However, if the client switch is not configured with the correct domain name, it will not participate in the VTP domain. Therefore, to ensure that the VTP client switch is properly configured and able to participate in the VTP domain, you should manually configure it with the correct VTP domain name that matches the VTP server switch. This can be done using the "vtp domain" command on the client switch.
Hi Dan could you or anyone else reading this tell me what is the difference between using 'switchport trunk allow' and 'switchport trunk allowed'; because on switch 2 you used 'allow' and on switch 3 you used 'allowed' for the configuration of the Trunk. What I would like to know is does it matter which one I use or can I like you use either one of them for configuring the Trunk Line. Also I have tried many of your UA-cam video topology's in packet tracer and they all work as you have described, but when I try the above video for VTP configuration, it only works as far as switch 1; switch 3 is unable to learn from the vtp server on switch 0. The VTP Transparent switch is not passing on the information of the vlans to the client switch 3. Can you please help me, or if there is anyone else out there reading this I would be grateful for any input. Thank you.
Sukhdev Jassi I did the same lab presented and my switch in transparent mode was able to pass the vlan information on to the other switches, I suggest you to check if you did not forget to configure the trunk port on your switch which is working in transparent mode, I believe that would be the only reason it wouldn't pass the vlan information on.
Thank you so much for the comment. I done it so many times and just could not comprehend what i was doing wrong. Once i redo it i will let you know the outcome,thanks again.
i really appreciate your videos. They are really informative. Could it be possible that the Host names could be configured on the devices. Sometimes i am unable to follow which device you are configuring. It could help.
Chief you are the best instructor, your videos are so clear and straigth forward. You are really a Pro in your field. May God Bless you more
Dude, I have learned more from your videos than I have in the actual course!

keep up the good work, whom so ever is making these videos are doing a great job
Thank you so much for describing easiest
Excellent video! I learn a lot! Thank you!

Thank you so much...... Clear explanation
very straight forward and nice
Can a router be placed between the switches?
HI Dan Would you mind if you tell me what is your CISCO packet tracer version?

Good luck, man! I hope you gonna manage well!
Thanks very much, Dan! BTW, what application are you using for emulating a Cisco environment including the Cisco CLI?

thank u a lot .... ur videos helped me a lot..
YOU ARE THE BEST !!!!!
thank you a lot .... you videos helped me a lotttt
very well explained.
help guys on my client switch i cant ping back to the server
Very good , thanks
Great exercise on to the next!
tnx, was very helpful
Awesome!!!
thank you so much
Would have been nice if the switches were labeled... (hostname)
thanks a lot
✋👍
thank you very much for the lesson but you forgot to talk about pruning.........
