Configuring for VLAN with VTP
Configuring for VLAN using the VLAN Trunking Protocol (VTP) consists of
assigning the VTP domain name and setting the VTP mode to client. VTP, a
proprietary protocol of Cisco Systems, is used to propagate VLAN information
around a switched network.
To configure VLAN using VTP:
Note:
VTP can only be used in a Cisco network environment.
1.
enable
— Enter Administrator mode.
2.
vtp domain
opus
— Assign a VTP domain name opus to which the
storage router belongs. If a domain name is not specified, the storage router
will assign itself to the first domain from which it receives a VTP message.
The default setting is
none
.
3.
vtp mode
client
— The default setting for the VTP mode is
client
. Set
the VTP mode to
client
if the current setting is
transparent
.
In client mode, the storage router will exchange VTP packets with an
externally attached switch to learn about the VLANs that are accessible in the
network.
Note:
The VTP mode is a cluster-wide configuration item. When set by the user and
saved, the mode setting becomes active on all storage routers in the cluster.
