Chapter 9 Configuring VTP
Configuring VTP Version 3
Configuring a VTP Version 3 Server
When a switch is in VTP version 3 server mode, you can change the VLAN configuration and have it
propagate throughout the network. To configure the switch as a VTP version 3 server, perform this task
in privileged mode:
This example shows how to configure the switch as a VTP server and verify the configuration:
Console> (enable) set vtp mode server
Changing VTP mode for all features
VTP3 domain ENG modified
Note
Because there is only the VLAN database in release 8.1(1) and later releases, if you do not specify the
vlan keyword with the set vtp mode server command, you will get the same configuration as if you
specified the vlan keyword.
Console> (enable) show vtp domain
Version : running VTP3

Configuring a VTP Version 3 Client
When a switch is in VTP client mode, you cannot change the VLAN configuration on the switch. The
client switch receives VTP updates from a VTP server in the management domain and modifies its
configuration accordingly.
