How to Configure VTP
Configuring VTP Mode
You can configure VTP mode as one of these:
• VTP server mode—In VTP server mode, you can change the VLAN configuration and have it propagated
throughout the network.
• VTP client mode—In VTP client mode, you cannot change its VLAN configuration. The client switch
receives VTP updates from a VTP server in the VTP domain and then modifies its configuration
accordingly.
• VTP transparent mode—In VTP transparent mode, VTP is disabled on the switch. The switch does not
send VTP updates and does not act on VTP updates received from other switch. However, a VTP
transparent switch running VTP version 2 does forward received VTP advertisements on its trunk links.
• VTP off mode—VTP off mode is the same as VTP transparent mode except that VTP advertisements
are not forwarded.
When you configure a domain name, it cannot be removed; you can only reassign a switch to a different
domain.
