Also make sure your vtp domain and passwords are the same also.

Soulja, Is there a password for the VTP &nbsp;I thought we could just assign either VTP client or server (in our case client as we already have a master root bridge) but I have not seen a configuration for a password? &nbsp;Please advise.<br />
<br />
Thanks

If there is not password configured for your vtp domain then the new switch will not require one.

I have a Cisco 4507 switch with 20 VLANs and it operates as the VTP server rank is 29 and a new cisco 3750X switch that I need to connect to the cisco 4507 and extend VLAN10 to the new switch and I need some help understanding what I need to do to establish/extend vlan 10 to the new switch. &nbsp;I understand the VTP Client mode rank needs to be less than the VTP server and so I have set that up as 0 and VTP client so that issue is ready I have selected port to trunk and set encapsulation (if trunking is the best method to extend please advise), are there any other gottchas I need to be aware of?

A router is a networking device that forwards data packets between computer networks. Routers perform the "traffic directing" functions on the Internet. The most familiar type of routers are home and small office cable or DSL routers that simply pass data, such as web pages, email, IM, and videos between computers and the Internet. More sophisticated routers, such as enterprise routers, connect large business or ISP networks up to the powerful core routers that forward data at high speed along the optical fiber lines of the Internet backbone. Though routers are typically dedicated hardware devices, use of software-based routers has grown increasingly common.

Routers

A switch is a device that filters and forwards packets of data between LAN segments. Switches operate at the data link layer or the network layer of the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) Reference Model and therefore support any packet protocol. LANs that use switches to join segments are called switched LANs or, in the case of Ethernet networks, switched Ethernet LANs. A hub is a connection point for devices in a network. Hubs are commonly used to connect segments of a LAN. A hub contains multiple ports; when a packet arrives at one port, it is copied to the other ports so that all segments of the LAN can see all packets.
