Clarification on VTP



Hi,
Greetings and a Good day to you. I need a clarification.
Say there are 5 Switches on a LAN (With Static VLANs).
Let's call them
1)SWT - A
2)SWT - B
3)SWT - C
4)SWT - D
5)SWT - E

Let's say each on these Switches are interconnect to at least Two of
the above mentioned switches. Let's Say two of these Switches i.e. SWT
- A and SWT - B are also connected to a Router.

All of these Switches are on a Single VTP Domain. We do not know how
many of these switches are Servers but there obviously is one Switch
which acts as a VTP Server Switch. Now one has access to Let us say
"SWT - C" which is a VTP client Switch. When I say access I imply on
the console with a rollover cable.

Clarification One
-----------------

Now how do we know from the information on "SWT - C" that which
Switches are acting as or deployed as a Server of the VTP Domain.

Clarification Two
-----------------

Suppose One "VTP Server Switch" is disconnected from the domain for 20
minutes and then reconnect again back, in the 20 minute period what
happens to the VLANS on the Domain as a whole.

Some links to Authoritative information would also be helpful.
Thanks,
CraftWorks.
