VTP
VTP is a Layer 2 messaging protocol that maintains VLAN consistency by managing the addition, deletion,
and renaming of VLANs within a VTP domain. A VTP domain is made up of one or more network devices
that share the same VTP domain name and that are connected with trunk interfaces. Each network device can
be in only one VTP domain.
Layer 2 trunk interfaces, Layer 2 port channels, and virtual port channels (vPCs) support VTP functionality.
The VTP is disabled by default on the device. You can enable and configure VTP using the command-line
interface (CLI). When VTP is disabled, the device does not relay any VTP protocol packets.
VTP worked only in transparent mode in the Cisco Nexus 9000 Series devices, allowing you to extend a
