Usage Guidelines You cannot use the vtp file command to load a new database. You can use it only to rename the file in
which the existing database is stored.

for this device. The VTP updater is the device that adds, deletes, or modifies VLANs to a network, and
triggers a VTP updater to inform the rest of the system of the changes.
Examples This example shows how to specify the IFS file system file where VTP configuration is stored:
