Configuring VTP V3
Note
•
VLAN 1 is required on all trunk ports used for switch interconnects if VTP V3 is used in transparent
mode in the network. Disabling VLAN 1 from any of these ports prevents VTP from functioning
properly in transparent mode.
•
The overlapping of system reserved VLANs between Cisco Nexus 6000 Series Switches and Cisco
Nexus 5000 Series Switches causes interoperability issues. When a Cisco Catalyst 6000 Switch
sends a VLAN reserved in the Cisco Nexus switch, it causes the Cisco Nexus 5000 and 6000 Series
Switches to move to VTP Transparent Mode.
Check the generated syslog messages in the Cisco Nexus Switches for information on the VLAN
that caused the interoperability issue.
Before You Begin
Ensure that you are in the correct virtual device context (VDC) (or enter the
switchto vdc
command). VLAN
names and IDs can be repeated in different VDCs, so you must confirm which VDC that you are working in.
