Chapter 13 Configuring VTP
Configuring VTP
VTP pruning is not designed to function in VTP transparent mode. If one or more switches in the
network are in VTP transparent mode, you should do one of these:
• Turn off VTP pruning in the entire network.
• Turn off VTP pruning by making all VLANs on the trunk of the switch upstream to the VTP
transparent switch pruning ineligible.
To configure VTP pruning on an interface, use the switchport trunk pruning vlan interface
configuration command (see the “Changing the Pruning-Eligible List” section on page 12-22). VTP
pruning operates when an interface is trunking. You can set VLAN pruning-eligibility, whether or not
VTP pruning is enabled for the VTP domain, whether or not any given VLAN exists, and whether or not
the interface is currently trunking.
