Enabling VTP Pruning
Pruningincreases available bandwidth by restricting flooded traffic to those trunk links that the traffic must
useto access the destination devices. You can only enable VTP pruning on a switch in VTP server mode.
WithVTP versions 1 and 2, when you enable pruning on the VTP server, it is enabled for the entire VTP
domain.In VTP version 3, you must manually enable pruning on each switch in the domain.
OnlyVLANs included in the pruning-eligible list can be pruned. By default, VLANs 2 through 1001 are
pruning-eligibleon trunk ports. Reserved VLANs and extended-range VLANs cannot be pruned.
