Chapter 2 Cisco Catalyst Blade Switch 3120 for HP Cisco IOS Commands

vtp (VLAN configuration)

•

Domain names are case sensitive.

•

After you configure a domain name, it cannot be removed. You can reassign it only to a different
domain.

Follow these guidelines when configuring a VTP password:

•

Passwords are case sensitive. Passwords should match on all switches in the same domain.

•

When the no vtp password form of the command is used, the switch returns to the no-password
state.

Follow these guidelines when enabling VTP pruning:

•

If you enable pruning on the VTP server, it is enabled for the entire management domain.

•

Only VLANs included in the pruning-eligible list can be pruned.

•

Pruning is supported with VTP Version 1 and Version 2.

Follow these guidelines when enabling VTP Version 2 (v2-mode):

•

Toggling the version (v2-mode) state modifies certain parameters of certain default VLANs.

•

Each VTP switch automatically detects the capabilities of all the other VTP devices. To use VTP
Version 2, all VTP switches in the network must support Version 2; otherwise, you must configure
them to operate in VTP Version 1 (no vtp v2-mode).

•

If all switches in a domain are VTP Version 2-capable, you need only to enable VTP Version 2 on
one switch; the version number is then propagated to the other Version-2 capable switches in the
VTP domain.

•

If you are using VTP in a Token Ring environment or configuring a Token Ring bridge relay
function (TrBRF) or Token Ring concentrator relay function (TrCRF) VLAN media type, VTP
Version 2 (v2-mode) must be enabled.

•

If you are configuring a Token Ring or Token Ring-NET VLAN media type, you must use VTP
Version 1.

Examples

This example shows how to place the switch in VTP transparent mode:

Switch(vlan)# vtp transparent

Setting device to VTP TRANSPARENT mode.

This example shows how to set the administrative domain for the switch:

Switch(vlan)# vtp domain OurDomainName

Changing VTP domain name from cisco to OurDomainName

This example shows how to configure the VTP domain password:

Switch(vlan)# vtp password private

Setting device VLAN database password to private.

This example shows how to enable pruning in the proposed new VLAN database:

Switch(vlan)# vtp pruning

Pruning switched ON

This example shows how to enable v2 mode in the proposed new VLAN database:

Switch(vlan)# vtp v2-mode

V2 mode enabled.

You can verify your settings by entering the show vtp status privileged EXEC command.
