Nexus 5000 does not have the same VLANs as switch running VTP server

VLANs for the Nexus 5000 are not the same as for the switch running the VTP server.

Possible Cause

The Nexus 5000 currently supports VTP only in transparent mode (4.2(1)N1(1) and later releases).

Solution

This situation indicates that VLANs must be configured locally. However a VTP client and server can both communicate through a Nexus 5000 by using the following commands:

 switch(config)# feature vtp
 switch(config)# vtp mode transparent
 switch(config)# exit
 switch# show vtp status
