Command History
Usage Guidelines If you make a change to the VTP or VLAN configuration on a switch in server mode, that change is
propagated to all the switches in the same VTP domain.
You can set VTP to either server or client mode only when you disable dynamic VLAN creation.
If the receiving switch is in server mode, the configuration is not changed.
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 server mode:
Switch(vlan-config)# vtp server
Switch(vlan-config)#
