Finding Feature Information
Your software release may not support all the features documented in this module. For the latest feature
information and caveats, see the release notes for your platform and software release.
Use Cisco Feature Navigator to find information about platform support and Cisco software image support.
To access Cisco Feature Navigator, go to http://www.cisco.com/go/cfn. An account on Cisco.com is not
required.
Prerequisites for VTP
The following are prerequisites for VTP:
•
Before you create VLANs, you must decide whether to use the VLAN Trunking Protocol (VTP) in your
network. Using VTP, you can make configuration changes centrally on one or more switches and have
those changes automatically communicated to all the other switches in the network. Without VTP, you
cannot send information about VLANs to other switches. VTP is designed to work in an environment
where updates are made on a single switch and are sent through VTP to other switches in the domain.
