Chapter 9 Configuring VTP
Configuring VTP Version 3
This example shows how to configure the switch as a VTP version 3 client and verify the configuration:
Console> (enable) set vtp mode client
Changing VTP mode for all features
VTP3 domain server 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 client command, you will get the same configuration as if you
specified the vlan keyword.
Console> (enable) show vtp domain

Configuring VTP Version 3 Transparent Mode
When you configure the switch as VTP transparent, you disable VTP on the switch. A VTP transparent
switch does not send VTP updates and does not act on VTP updates that are received from other
switches.
Note
Network devices in VTP transparent mode do not send VTP join messages. On Catalyst 4500 series
switches with trunk connections to network devices in VTP transparent mode, configure the VLANs that
are used by the transparent-mode network devices or that need to be carried across trunks as pruning
ineligible (use the clear vtp pruneeligible command).
To disable VTP on the switch, perform this task in privileged mode:
