Chapter 9 Creating and Maintaining VLANs
Using the VLAN Trunking Protocol
To return the switch to VTP server mode, use the no vtp transparent VLAN configuration command.
Enabling VTP Version 2
VTP version 2 is disabled by default on VTP version 2-capable switches. When you enable VTP
version 2 on a switch, every VTP version 2-capable switch in the VTP domain enables version 2.
Caution
VTP version 1 and VTP version 2 are not interoperable on switches in the same VTP domain. Every
switch in the VTP domain must use the same VTP version. Do not enable VTP version 2 unless every
switch in the VTP domain supports version 2.
Note
In TrCRF and TrBRF Token ring environments, you must enable VTP version 2 for Token Ring
VLAN switching to function properly. For Token Ring and Token Ring-Net media, VTP version 2
must be disabled.
For more information on VTP version configuration guidelines, see the
“VTP Version” section on
page 9-9
