Command History
Usage Guidelines Before you use this command, you must enable VTP on the switch by using the feature vtp command.
VLAN Trunking Protocol (VTP) is a Cisco Proprietary Layer 2 messaging protocol used to distribute
the VLAN configuration information across multiple devices within a VTP domain. Without VTP, you
must configure VLANs in each device in the network. Using VTP, you configure VLANs on a VTP
server and then distribute the configuration to other VTP devices in the VTP domain.
