Sharing VTP Info Between two VTP Servers

Question

Im trying to share info between two vtp servers these vtp server are connected using Etherchannel I have configured both on server mode, using the same domain and password, but the right one is not getting information from VTP SERVER 1 (Left) Etherchannel is working, all their ports are already in trunk mode

I can't notice if im missing something.

Thank you.

Answer 1

OK. You have a couple of problems.

First, you need to make sure that the channel is a trunk. VTP only works on trunks. On both switches:

interface Port-channel1
 switchport mode trunk
!

Next, you really do not have the same VTP password on both switches. You can tell this because the MD5 hash is different on each switch:

Switch 1:

MD5 digest                      : 0x4A 0xB4 0xC6 0x2E 0xB9 0x70 0x21 0x58 

Switch 2:

MD5 digest                      : 0x24 0x66 0x6C 0x45 0x8F 0xDE 0x06 0xEB

You can verify the passwords on each switch with the show VTP password command. Remember that something like a space at the start or end of the password actually counts as part of the password, even though you cannot see it. The best way to make sure the passwords are the same is by copying the password text from Notepad (or whatever text editor), and pasting it in on both switches so that you know for sure it is the same. When you have the same password on both, the MD5 hashes will match.
