VTP Configuration Guidelines
Follow these guidelines when implementing VTP in your network:
•
All switches in a VTP domain must run the same VTP version.
•
You must configure a password on each switch in the management domain when in secure mode.
Caution
If you configure VTP in secure mode, the management domain will not function properly if you do
not assign a management domain password to each switch in the domain.
•
A VTP version 2-capable switch can operate in the same VTP domain as a switch running VTP
version 1 provided VTP version 2 is disabled on the VTP version 2-capable switch (VTP version 2
is disabled by default).
•
Do not enable VTP version 2 on a switch unless all of the switches in the same VTP domain are
version 2 capable. When you enable VTP version 2 on a switch, all of the version 2-capable
switches in the domain enable VTP version 2.
•
In a Token Ring environment, you must enable VTP version 2 for Token Ring VLAN switching to
function properly.
•
Enabling or disabling VTP pruning on a VTP server enables or disables VTP pruning for the entire
management domain.
•
Making VLANs pruning eligible or pruning ineligible on a switch affects pruning eligibility for
those VLANs on that device only (not on all switches in the VTP domain).
