How to assign VLAN's on a VTP client?

[RichardParry]

Okies, I am just getting into VLAN's using a VTP Domain setup between Cisco switches. I have a Cisco Cat 5002 and a 1924-EN switch. Both are connected to each other with a single trunk port (ISL) which is up and running. I have also setup VTP on the 5002, as a server, running VTP v1. I have subsequently setup the 1924-EN as a VTP client. The client switch is successfully receiving all the VTP updates from the VTP server. However, I am confused, although the VLAN's are syncronised ok, how can I assign a specific port on the switch to a VLAN on the VTP domain? When in Client mode (the 1924-EN), it will not let me amend, add or delete any VLAN config).... at the moment the 1924-EN is configured with all ports within the VLAN 1 group, but I am unsure how to change this as all attempts have failed.

Another issue is that I have noticed a few errors with the VTP statistics on the VTP client (the 1924-EN);

Configuration Errors:
Revision Errors 8
Digest Errors 0

The revision errors dont appear to be affecting the VTP propogation though, but I would like to know what could be causing it. The 1924-EN supports VTP pruning, which is currently enabled. Both switches are also running VTP v1 (the 1924-EN does not appear to support VTP v2).

Any ideas or have I got completely the wrong end of the stick?

if you change the switch from client to transparant you can change, add vlans just on that switch. It will not update other switches of that vlan, so it will be a local vlan.
It will still receive the updates from the vtp server.

CCNA, CCNP..partly

right, I will give that a try, would there be any loss in functionality? as Transparent VTP sounds as if it does everything I need, to assign specific ports on the switch to VTP VLAN's, but I am confused with regards to Client VTP's, if they do not allow assignment of ports on the client switches for VTP VLAN's, how does it work?

okies, I have tried that, setting the 1924-EN to be in Transparent VTP mode, but it no longer picks up the VLAN settings from the VTP server any ideas? as at the moment, although it gives me the option to amend, add and delete VLAN's, its not showing me the full list of VLAN's from the VTP domain

AH, I figured it out got it working in Client mode now with specified ports to specified VLAN's on the VTP domain groovy
