Configuring VTP
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to configure the switch as a VTP server:
Command
Step 1 configure terminal
Step 2 vtp mode server
Step 3
vtp domain domain-name
Step 4
vtp password password
Step 5
end
Step 6 show vtp status
When you configure a domain name, it cannot be removed; you can only reassign a switch to a different
domain.
To return the switch to a no-password state, use the no vtp password global configuration command.
This example shows how to use global configuration mode to configure the switch as a VTP server with
the domain name eng_group and the password mypassword:
Switch# config terminal
Switch(config)# vtp mode server
Switch(config)# vtp domain eng_group
Switch(config)# vtp password mypassword
Switch(config)# end

Purpose
Enter global configuration mode.
Configure the switch for VTP server mode (the default).
Configure the VTP administrative-domain name. The name can be from
1 to 32 characters. All switches operating in VTP server or client mode
under the same administrative responsibility must be configured with the
same domain name.
(Optional) Set the password for the VTP domain. The password can be
from 8 to 64 characters.
If you configure a VTP password, the VTP domain does not function
properly if you do not assign the same password to each switch in the
domain.
Return to privileged EXEC mode.
Verify your entries in the VTP Operating Mode and the VTP Domain Name
fields of the display.
