Configuring VTP
Enabling VTP Version 2
VTP Version 2 is disabled by default on VTP Version 2-capable switches. When you enable VTP
Version2 on a switch, every VTP Version 2-capable switch in the VTP domain enables Version 2. You
can only configure the version when the switches are in VTP server or transparent mode.
Caution VTP Version1 and VTP Version 2 are not interoperable on switches in the same VTP domain. Every
switch in the VTP domain must use the same VTP version. Do not enable VTP Version2 unless every
switch in the VTP domain supports Version2.
Note In TrCRF and TrBRF Token ring environments, you must enable VTP Version 2 for Token Ring VLAN
switching to function properly. For Token Ring and Token Ring-Net media, VTP Version 2 must be
disabled.
For more information on VTP version configuration guidelines, see the “VTP Version” section on
page 13-8.
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to enable VTP Version 2:
To disable VTP Version 2, use the no vtp version global configuration command.
Note You can also enable VTP Version 2 by using the vlan database privileged EXEC command to enter
VLAN database configuration mode and by entering the vtp v2-mo de VLAN database configuration
command. To disable VTP Version 2, use the no vtp v2-mode VLAN database configuration command.
