Configuring VTP Mode

You can configure VTP mode as one of these:

•When a switch is in VTP server mode, you can change the VLAN configuration and have it propagated throughout the network.

•When a switch is in VTP client mode, you cannot change its VLAN configuration. The client switch receives VTP updates from a VTP server in the VTP domain and then modifies its configuration accordingly.

•When you configure the switch for VTP transparent mode, VTP is disabled on the switch. The switch does not send VTP updates and does not act on VTP updates received from other switch. However, a VTP transparent switch running VTP version 2 does forward received VTP advertisements on its trunk links.

•VTP off mode is the same as VTP transparent mode except that VTP advertisements are not forwarded.

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

SUMMARY STEPS

1.configure terminal

2.vtp domain domain-name

3.vtp mode {client server transparent off} {vlan mst unknown}

4.vtp password password

5.end

6.show vtp status

7.copy running-config startup-config
