Chapter 14 Configuring VTP

Configuring VTP

	Command	Purpose
Step 4
	vtp password password	(Optional) Set the password for the VTP domain. The password can be 8 to
		64 characters.
		If you configure a VTP password, the VTP domain does not function
		properly if you do not assign the same password to each switch in the
		domain.
Step 5
	end	Return to privileged EXEC mode.
Step 6
	show vtp status	Verify your entries in the VTP Operating Mode and the VTP Domain Name
		fields of the display.

When you configure a domain name, it cannot be removed; you can only reassign a switch to a different domain.

To return the switch to a no-password state, use the no vtp password global configuration command.

This example shows how to use global configuration mode to configure the switch as a VTP server with the domain name eng_group and the password mypassword:

Switch# config terminal

Switch(config)# vtp mode server

Switch(config)# vtp domain eng_group

Switch(config)# vtp password mypassword

Switch(config)# end

You can also use VLAN database configuration mode to configure VTP parameters.

Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to use VLAN database configuration mode to configure the switch as a VTP server:

	Command	Purpose
Step 1
	vlan database	Enter VLAN database configuration mode.
Step 2
	vtp server	Configure the switch for VTP server mode (the default).
Step 3
	vtp domain domain-name	Configure a VTP administrative-domain name. The name can be 1 to 32
		characters. All switches operating in VTP server or client mode under the
		same administrative responsibility must be configured with the same domain
		name.
Step 4
	vtp password password	(Optional) Set a password for the VTP domain. The password can be 8 to 64
		characters.
		If you configure a VTP password, the VTP domain does not function properly
		if you do not assign the same password to each switch in the domain.
Step 5
	exit	Update the VLAN database, propagate it throughout the administrative
		domain, and return to privileged EXEC mode.
Step 6
	show vtp status	Verify your entries in the VTP Operating Mode and the VTP Domain Name
		fields of the display.

When you configure a domain name, it cannot be removed; you can only reassign a switch to a different domain.

To return the switch to a no-password state, use the no vtp password VLAN database configuration command.
