Chapter 17 Configuring VTP
Configuring VTP
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps 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 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
Command Purpose
Step 1
configure terminal Enter global configuration mode.
Step 2
vtp mode server Configure the switch for VTP server mode (the default).
Step 3
vtp domain domain-name Configure the VTP administrative-domain name. The name can be from
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 the password for the VTP domain. The password can be
from 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
end 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.
