Cisco Systems WSC2960XR48FPSI VTP Advertisements

DescriptionVTP Mode

VTPtransparent switches do notparticipate in VTP.A VTP transparent switch does not

advertiseits VLAN configuration and does not synchronizeits VLAN configuration based

onreceived advertisements. However, in VTP version 2 or version 3, transparent switches

doforward VTPadvertisements that theyreceive from otherswitches through theirtrunk

interfaces.You can create, modify,and delete VLANs on a switch in VTP transparent mode.

InVTP versions 1 and 2, the switch must be in VTP transparent mode when you create

extended-rangeVLANs. VTP version3 alsosupports creating extended-range VLANs in

clientor server mode.

InVTP versions 1 and 2, the switch must be in VTP transparent mode when you create

privateVLANs and when they are configured, you should not changethe VTP mode from

transparentto client or server mode. VTP version 3 also supports private VLANs in client

andserver modes. When private VLANs are configured, do not change the VTP mode from

transparentto client or servermode.

Whenthe switch is in VTP transparent mode, the VTP and VLAN configurations are saved

inNVRAM, but they are not advertised to other switches. In this mode, VTP mode and

domainname are saved in the switch running configuration, and you can save this information

inthe switch startup configuration file by using the copy running-config startup-config

privilegedEXEC command.

Ina switchstack, the running configuration and the saved configuration are the same for

allswitches in astack.

Aswitch in VTP off mode functions in the same manner as a VTP transparent switch, except

thatit doesnot forwardVTP advertisementson trunks.

VTP Advertisements

Eachswitch in the VTP domainsends periodic global configuration advertisements from each trunk port to

areserved multicast address. Neighboring switches receive these advertisements and update their VTP and

VLANconfigurations as necessary.

Becausetrunk ports send and receive VTP advertisements, you must ensure that at least one trunk port is

configuredon the switch stack and that this trunk port is connected to the trunk port of another switch.

Otherwise,the switch cannotreceive any VTP advertisements.

VTPadvertisements distribute this global domain information:

•VTPdomain name

•VTPconfiguration revision number

•Updateidentity and updatetimestamp

•MD5digest VLANconfiguration, including maximum transmission unit (MTU)size for eachVLAN
