Command History
Usage Guidelines When you save VTP mode, domain name, and VLAN configurations in the switch startup configuration 
file and reboot the switch, the VTP and VLAN configurations are selected by these conditions:
  • If both the VLAN database and the configuration file show the VTP mode as transparent and the 
VTP domain names match, the VLAN database is ignored. The VTP and VLAN configurations in 
the startup configuration file are used. The VLAN database revision number remains unchanged in 
the VLAN database. 
  • If the startup VTP mode is server mode, or the startup VTP mode or domain names do not match the 
VLAN database, VTP mode and VLAN configuration for the first 1005 VLANs are selected by 
VLAN database information, and VLANs greater than 1005 are configured from the switch 
configuration file. 
The vtp file filename cannot be used to load a new database; it renames only the file in which the existing 
database is stored. 
Follow these guidelines when configuring a VTP domain name:
  • The switch is in the no-management-domain state until you configure a domain name. While in the 
no-management-domain state, the switch does not send any VTP advertisements even if changes 
occur to the local VLAN configuration. The switch leaves the no-management-domain state after it 
receives the first VTP summary packet on any port that is trunking or after you configure a domain 
name by using the vtp domain command. If the switch receives its domain from a summary packet, 
it resets its configuration revision number to 0. After the switch leaves the no-management-domain 
state, it can no be configured to re-enter it until you clear the NVRAM and reload the software.
  • Domain names are case-sensitive.
  • After you configure a domain name, it cannot be removed. You can only reassign it to a different 
domain.
