Configuring VTP

Enabling VTP Pruning

Before You Begin

VTP pruning is not designed to function in VTP transparent mode. If one or more switches in the network are in VTP transparent mode, you should do one of these:

•Turn off VTP pruning in the entire network.

•Turn off VTP pruning by making all VLANs on the trunk of the switch upstream to the VTP transparent switch pruning ineligible.

To configure VTP pruning on an interface, use the switchport trunk pruning vlan interface configuration command. VTP pruning operates when an interface is trunking. You can set VLAN pruning-eligibility, whether or not VTP pruning is enabled for the VTP domain, whether or not any given VLAN exists, and whether or not the interface is currently trunking.

DETAILED STEPS

 

Command or Action

Purpose

Step 1

configure terminal

Enters the global configuration mode.

 

Example:

 

 

Switch# configure terminal

 

Step 2

vtp pruning

Example:

Switch(config)# vtp pruning

Step 3

end

Example:

Switch(config)# end

Enables pruning in the VTP administrative domain.

By default, pruning is disabled. You need to enable pruning on only one switch in VTP server mode.

Note To disable VTP pruning, use the no vtp pruning global configuration command.

Returns to privileged EXEC mode.

Step 4

show vtp status

Verifies your entries in the VTP Pruning Mode field of the display.

Example:

Switch# show vtp status
