Re: VTP Order of Operations

Martin,

There is no order of operations for it to eventually work, but I usually go
in that order. That is if I remember to read the lab before diving in :)
Find out which task is used to set your trunks and do that first, then set
your VTP modes. Remember that when you set your VTP name, all
trunked/connected devices with a NULL domain will learn it as well. If you
then set a password, VLANs will not get propagated from that switch until
you set the password on each device. Just a couple caveats to remember...
