Step 1 configure terminal Enters global configuration mode on Switch A.
Step 2 vtp domain domain-name Configures a VTP administrative domain.
The domain name can be 1 to 32 characters.
Step 3 vtp mode server Configures Switch A as the VTP server.
Step 4 end Returns to privileged EXEC mode.
Step 5 show vtp status Verifies the VTP configuration on both Switch A and Switch B.
Step 6 show vlan Verifies that the VLANs exist in the database on Switch A.
Step 7 configure terminal Enters global configuration mode.
Step 8 interface interface-id_1 Defines the interface to be configured as a trunk, and enters interface
configuration mode.
Step 9 switchport mode trunk Configures the port as a trunk port.
Step 10 end Returns to privileged EXEC mode.
Step 11 show interfaces interface-id_1 switchport Verifes the VLAN configuration.
Step 12 Repeat Steps 7 through 10 on Switch A for
a second port in the switch.
Step 13 Repeat Steps 7 through 10 on Switch B to
configure the trunk ports that connect to the
trunk ports configured on Switch A.
Step 14 show vlan When the trunk links come up, VTP passes the VTP and VLAN
information to Switch B. Verifies that Switch B has learned the VLAN
configuration.
Step 15 configure terminal Enters global configuration mode on Switch A.
Step 16 interface interface-id_1 Defines the interface to set the STP port priority, and enters interface
configuration mode.
Step 17 spanning-tree vlan 8-10 port-priority 16 Assigns the port priority of 16 for VLANs 8 through 10.
Step 18 exit Returns to global configuration mode.
Step 19 interface interface-id_2 Defines the interface to set the STP port priority, and enters interface
configuration mode.
Step 20 spanning-tree vlan 3-6 port-priority 16 A ssigns the port priority of 16 for VLANs 3 through 6.
Step 21 end Returns to privileged EXEC mode.
