Purpose
Enables privileged EXEC mode. Enter your password if prompted.
Enters the global configuration mode.
Configures the VTP administrative-domain name. The name can be 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.
This command is optional for modes other than server mode. VTP server
mode requires a domain name. If the switch has a trunk connection to a
VTP domain, the switch learns the domain name from the VTP server in
the domain.
You should configure the VTP domain before configuring other VTP
parameters.
Note
Configures the switch for VTP mode (client, server, transparent, or off).
• vlan—The VLAN database is the default if none are configured.
• mst—The multiple spanning tree (MST) database.
• unknown—An unknown database type.
