Cajun P550/P220 Switch Operation Guide
Configuring VTP Snooping
VTP is a Layer 2 protocol developed by Cisco to maintain VLAN configuration
consistency among its switches. this protocol only runs over trunk ports that have
enabled either Cisco ISL or IEEE 802.1Q tagging. VTP Snooping allows a Cajun switch to
synchronize its VLAN configuration with that of a Cisco switch running VTP in the same
network. VLAN additions, deletions, and name changes made on the network’s Cisco
VTP server will be automatically updated on Cajun switches that have VTP Snooping
enabled and have connectivity to the Cisco VTP server. VLAN changes made on a Cajun
switch are not automatically updated on any other switch.
Note:
VTP Snooping is enabled by default. You would only need to change VTP
Snooping port settings if you wanted to disable its ability to learn VLAN
changes on the network’s Cisco VTP server.
