Chapter 17 Configuring VLANs, VTP, and VMPS
VLAN Trunking Protocol
•
Configuring VLANs as eligible for pruning on a Catalyst 4500 series switch affects pruning
eligibility for those VLANs on that switch only, not on all network devices in the VTP domain.
•
The VLAN database is saved in the NVRAM file in a format compliant with the VTP version
running on the system. Since older images supporting only VTP version 2 do not recognize the VTP
version 3 file format, the NVRAM VLAN database information is lost if the system is downgraded
from a new image supporting VTP to one that does not.
VTP Default Configuration
shows the default VTP configuration.
The default VTP mode for newly manufactured Catalyst 4500 supervisor engines, Catalyst 4900 series
switches, and the Cisco ME 4924-10GE switch is transparent. Deleting vlan.dat or entering the
erase cat4000_flash:
command, and resetting the switch changes the VTP mode to server.
