Usage Guidelines If the receiving switch is in client mode, the client switch changes its configuration to duplicate the
configuration of the server. If you have switches in client mode, make sure to make all VTP or VLAN
configuration changes on a switch in server mode.
The vtp server command is the functional equivalent of no vtp client except that it does not return an
error if the device is not in client mode.
Examples This example shows how to place the device in VTP client mode:
Switch(vlan-config)# vtp client
Switch(vlan-config)#
