Chapter 8 Configuring VTP
Configuring VTP
Note In a Token Ring environment, you must enable VTP version 2 for Token Ring VLAN switching to
function properly on devices that support Token Ring interfaces.
To enable VTP version 2, perform this task:
This example shows one way to enable VTP version 2 with Release 12.1(13)E and later releases:
Router# configure terminal
Router(config)# vtp version 2
V2 mode enabled.
Router(config)#
This example shows how to enable VTP version 2 with any release:
Router# vtp version 2
V2 mode enabled.
Router#
This example shows how to verify the configuration:
Router# show vtp status | include V2
VTP V2 Mode: Enabled
Router#
Configuring the VTP Mode
To configure the VTP mode, perform this task:
Command Purpose
Step 1 Router(config)# vtp version {1 | 2} Enables VTP version 2.
Router(config)# no vtp version Reverts to the default (VTP version 1).
Step 2 Router# show vtp status Verifies the configuration.
Command Purpose
Step 1 Router(config)# vtp mode {client | server |
transparent}
Configures the VTP mode.
Router(config)# no vtp mode Reverts to the default VTP mode (server).
Step 2 Router(config)# vtp domain domain_name (Optional for server mode) Defines the VTP domain
name, which can be up to 32 characters long. VTP server
mode requires a domain name. If the switch has a trunk
connection to a VTP domain, the switch learns the
domain name from the VTP server in the domain.
Note You cannot clear the domain name.
Step 3 Router(config)# end Exits VLAN configuration mode.
Step 4 Router# show vtp status Verifies the configuration.
