Configuring a VTP Version 3 Takeover
Note For more information on takeovers, see the “Reconfiguring a Partitioned VTP Domain” section on
page 10-16.
Use the set vtp primary [feature] [force] command to configure a takeover. A takeover allows a
secondary server to become a primary server and propagates the primary server’s configuration to the
entire VTP domain, removing any partitions if applicable.
Note If a password was configured using the hidden keyword, you are prompted to reenter it.
