I know that there are three types of messages in VTP; the summary, the request, and the subset.
My question is, do all switches periodically send summaries, or just the VTP server?
My theory is, since the only device in the VTP domain that can increment the revision number is the VTP server because it alone can make changes. If all switches periodically send summaries, they mostly get ignored because the revision number would always be the same until the server comes along with a higher one. At that point, the clients all send a request to the tune of, "Hey, man, what changed?"
Is this theory of mine on the right track, or do I need to go back and read the chapter again?
