Chapter9 Creating and Maintaining VLANs
Using the VLAN Trunking Protocol
To return the switch to VTP server mode, use the no vtp transparent VLAN configuration command.
Enabling VTP Version 2
VTP version 2 is disabled by default on VTP version 2-capable switches. When you enable VTP
version 2 on a switch, every VTP version 2-capable switch in the VTP domain enables version 2.
Caution VTP version 1 and VTP version 2 are not interoperable on switches in the same VTP domain. Every
switch in the VTP domain must use the same VTP version. Do not enable VTP version2 unless every
switch in the VTP domain supports version2.
Note In TrCRF and TrBRF Token ring environments, you must enable VTP version 2 for Token Ring
VLAN switching to function properly. For Token Ring and Token Ring-Net media, VTP version 2
must be disabled.
For more information on VTP version configuration guidelines, see the “VTP Version” section on
page 9-9.
