Chapter 9 Configuring VTP
Default VTP Version 3 Configuration
•
A VTP version 2 region that is connected to two different VTP version 3 regions may receive
contradictory information and keep swapping its database to the VTP version 3 region that has the
highest revision number at any given time. We do not recommend this type of configuration.
•
Enabling VTP pruning on a VTP version 3 switch only enables pruning on the switch that you enable
it on. VTP pruning is not propagated as it is with VTP version 1 and VTP version 2.
Default VTP Version 3 Configuration
