Hi Erich

Thank you for your answer. I also saw this in the documentation. But the switch behaves differently.
If I have a switch with already configured vlans with vtp mode transparent (with the same infos in vlan.dat ) then only the higher numbered vlans are going to be applied from the startup config. The lower numbered vlans are copied from vlan.dat to the configuration.

Regards

Hi

Regarding to the cisco docu (1)  it depends on the vtp mode and the
config of vlan.dat.

If both the VLAN database and the configuration file show the VTP mode
as transparent and the VTP domain names match, the VLAN database is
ignored. The VTP and VLAN configurations in the startup configuration
file are used. The VLAN database revision number remains unchanged in
the VLAN database.

If there is no vlan.dat file, or if the vlan.dat cannot be read, the
switch boots with the default vlan characteristics. You can use the
archiv commands to safe and restore the vlan.dat file.


Regards
 Erich
