Chapter8 Configuring VLANs
Using VTP
Disabling VTP (VTP Transparent Mode)
When you configure the switch for VTP transparent mode, you disable VTP on the switch. The switch
then does not send VTP updates and does not act on VTP updates received from other switches.
However, a VTP transparent switch does forward received VTP advertisements on all of its trunk links.
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to configure the switch for VTP transparent
mode:
Enabling VTP Version 2
VTP version 2 is disabled by default on VTP version 2-capable switches. When you enable VTP version
2 on a switch, every VTP version 2-capable switch in the VTP domain enables version 2.
Caution VTP version 1 and VTP version 2 are not interoperable on switches in the same VTP domain. Every
switch in the VTP domain must use the same VTP version. Do not enable VTP version 2 unless every
switch in the VTP domain supports version 2.
Note In a Token Ring environment, you must enable VTP version 2 for Token Ring VLAN switching to
function properly.
For more information on VTP version configuration guidelines, see the “VTP Version” section on
page 8-15.
