Configuring VTP
Enabling VTP Pruning
Pruning increases available bandwidth by restricting flooded traffic to those trunk links that the traffic
must use to access the destination devices. You can only enable VTP pruning on a switch in VTP server
mode.
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to enable VTP pruning in the VTP domain:
To disable VTP pruning, use the no vtp pruning global configuration command.
Note You can also enable VTP pruning by using the vlan database privileged EXEC command to enter VLAN
database configuration mode and entering the vtp pruning VLAN database configuration command. To
disable VTP pruning, use the no vtp pruning VLAN database configuration command. You can also
enable VTP version 2 by using the vtp pruning privileged EXEC command. However, this command
will not be available in future releases.
Pruning is supported with VTP version 1 and version 2. If you enable pruning on the VTP server, it is
enabled for the entire VTP domain.
Only VLANs included in the pruning-eligible list can be pruned. By default, VLANs 2 through 1001 are
pruning eligible on trunk ports. Reserved VLANs and extended-range VLANs cannot be pruned. To
change the pruning-eligible VLANs, see the “Changing the Pruning-Eligible List” section on
page 10-23.
Command Purpose
Step 1
configure terminal Enter global configuration mode.
Step 2
vtp pruning Enable pruning in the VTP administrative domain.
By default, pruning is disabled. You need to enable pruning on only one switch
in VTP server mode.
Step 3
end Return to privileged EXEC mode.
Step 4
show vtp status Verify your entries in the VTP Pruning Mode field of the display.
