[c-nsp] Question about setting up VTP

[christian.macnevin at uk.bnpparibas.com]

Why not just bring them both up in transparent mode and leave them that
way? All you're gaining by using VTP is the equivalent of a 'set vlan name'
statement, not true? And you're risking losing vlan definitions if there's
a problem with the configs...

Why not bring them both up on transparent mode and then convert one to
master,
and then the other?  Would that not work around this for Jeff?  Or, does
the
same rule apply in transparent mode?  I have done what Jeff is asking for,
but
can't remember the steps I did in order to work around the revision thing..
