Chapter 7 Configuring VLANs

Configuring VLAN Trunking Protocol

This section describes how to configure the VLAN Trunking Protocol (VTP) on an EtherSwitch HWIC,

and contains the following tasks:

• Configuring a VTP Server

• Configuring a VTP Client

• Disabling VTP

Configuring a VTP Server

When a router is in VTP server mode, you can change the VLAN configuration and have it propagate

throughout the network. Follow these steps to configure the router as a VTP server:

Configuring a VTP Client

When a router is in VTP client mode, you cannot change the VLAN configuration. A client switch

receives VTP updates from a VTP server in the management domain and modifies its configuration

accordingly. Follow these steps to configure the router as a VTP client.

Disabling VTP

You can disable VTP on the router by configuring it to VTP transparent mode, meaning that the router

does not send VTP updates or act on VTP updates received from other switches. Follow these steps to

disable VTP on the router:
