CHAPTER 2
VLAN Implementation
The two versions of VTP are Version 1 and Version 2. To use Version 2, all switches in the domain must be capable of
using it. Configure one server for Version 2, and the information is propagated through VTP. Version 2 has the following
added features:
n It supports Token Ring VLANs.
n Transparent switches pass along messages from both versions of VTP.
n Consistency checks are performed only when changes are configured through the CLI or SNMP.
Configuring VTP
VTP configuration is done at the global config mode. To configure the switch’s VTP mode:
(config)# vtp {server | client |transparent}
To configure the VTP domain name:
(config)# vtp domain name
To configure a VTP password (all switches in the domain must use the same password):
(config)# vtp password password
To configure the switch to use VTP Version 2:
(config)# vtp version 2
