Configuring VLAN Trunking Protocol
This section describes how to configure the VLAN Trunking Protocol (VTP) on an EtherSwitch HWIC,
and contains the following sections:
• Configuring a VTP Server, page 9
• Configuring a VTP Client, page 10
• Disabling VTP (VTP Transparent Mode), page 10
• Verifying VTP, page 11
Note VTP pruning is not supported by EtherSwitch HWICs.
