Enabling the VTP Version
VTP version 2 and version 3 are disabled by default.
•
When you enable VTP version 2 on a switch , every VTP version 2-capable switch in the VTP domain
enables version 2. To enable VTP version 3, you must manually configure it on each switch .
•
With VTP versions 1 and 2, you can configure the version only on switches in VTP server or transparent
mode. If a switch is running VTP version 3, you can change to version 2 when the switch is in client
mode if no extended VLANs exist, and no hidden password was configured.
VTP version 1 and VTP version 2 are not interoperable on switches in the same VTP
domain. Do not enable VTP version 2 unless every switch in the VTP domain supports
version 2.
Caution
•
In TrCRF and TrBRF Token Ring environments, you must enable VTP version 2 or VTP version 3 for
Token Ring VLAN switching to function properly. For Token Ring and Token Ring-Net media, disable
VTP version 2.
