DETAILED STEPS

 

Command or Action

Purpose

Step 1

configure terminal

Enters the global configuration mode.

 

Example:

 

 

Switch# configure terminal

 

Step 2

vtp password password [hidden secret]

(Optional) Sets the password for the VTP domain. The password can

 

 

be 8 to 64 characters.

Example:

Switch(config)# vtp password mypassword hidden

•(Optional) hidden—Saves the secret key generated from the password string in the nram:vlan.dat file. If you configure a takeover by configuring a VTP primary server, you are prompted to reenter the password.
