DETAILED STEPS
Purpose Command or Action

Enters the global configuration mode.
configure terminal
Example:
Switch# configure terminal
Step 2
Configures the VTP administrative-domain name. The name can be 1 to
32 characters. All switches operating in VTP server or client mode under vtp domain domain-name
Example:
Switch(config)# vtp domain eng_group
Step 3
the same administrative responsibility must be configured with the same
domain name.
This command is optional for modes other than server mode. VTP server
mode requires a domain name. If the switch has a trunk connection to a
VTP domain, the switch learns the domain name from the VTP server in
the domain.
You should configure the VTP domain before configuring other VTP
parameters.
Note
Configures the switch for VTP mode (client, server, transparent, or off). vtp mode { client | server | transparent |
off } { vlan | mst | unknown }

vlan

The VLAN database is the default if none are configured.
Example:
Switch(config)# vtp mode server
• mst — The multiple spanning tree (MST) database.
•
