Chapter 12 Configuring VTP
Configuring VTP
When you configure a domain name, it cannot be removed; you can only reassign a switch to a different
domain.
To return the switch to a no-password state, use the
no vtp password
global configuration command.
This example shows how to use global configuration mode to configure the switch as a VTP server with
the domain name
eng_group
and the password
mypassword
:
Switch#
config terminal
Switch(config)#
vtp mode server
Switch(config)#
vtp domain eng_group
Switch(config)#
vtp password mypassword
Switch(config)#
end
You can also use VLAN database configuration mode to configure VTP parameters.
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to use VLAN database configuration mode to
configure the switch as a VTP server:
When you configure a domain name, it cannot be removed; you can only reassign a switch to a different
domain.
To return the switch to a no-password state, use the
no vtp password
VLAN database configuration
command.
Command
Purpose
Step 1
vlan database
Enter VLAN database configuration mode.
Step 2
vtp server
Configure the switch for VTP server mode (the default).
Step 3
vtp domain
domain-name
Configure a VTP administrative-domain name. The name can be 1 to 32
characters. All switches operating in VTP server or client mode under the
same administrative responsibility must be configured with the same domain
name.
Step 4
vtp password
password
(Optional) Set a password for the VTP domain. The password can be 8 to 64
characters.
If you configure a VTP password, the VTP domain does not function properly
if you do not assign the same password to each switch in the domain.
Step 5
exit
Update the VLAN database, propagate it throughout the administrative
domain, and return to privileged EXEC mode.
Step 6
show vtp status
Verify your entries in the
VTP Operating Mode
and the
VTP Domain Name
fields of the display.
