About The Vlan Trunking Protocol; Guidelines And Limitations For Vtp - Cisco Nexus 3000 Series Configuration Manual

About the VLAN Trunking Protocol

When you delete a specified VLAN, the ports associated to that VLAN are shut down and no traffic flows.
However, the system retains all the VLAN-to-port mapping for that VLAN, and when you reenable, or recreate,
the specified VLAN, the system automatically reinstates all the original ports to that VLAN.
Commands entered in the VLAN configuration submode are immediately executed.
Note
VLANs 3968 to 4047 and 4094 are reserved for internal use; these VLANs cannot be changed or used.
About the VLAN Trunking Protocol
VTP is a distributed VLAN database management protocol that synchronizes the VTP VLAN database across
domains. A VTP domain includes one or more network switches that share the same VTP domain name and
that are connected with trunk interfaces. Each device can be in one VTP domain, Layer 2 trunk interfaces,
and Layer 2 port channels.

Guidelines and Limitations for VTP

VTP has the following configuration guidelines and limitations:
• VLAN 1 is required on all trunk ports used for switch interconnects if VTP is supported in the network.
• If you enable VTP, you must configure either version 1 or version 2.
• The show running-configuration command does not show VLAN or VTP configuration information
• VTP pruning is not supported.
• You must enter the copy running-config startup-config command followed by a reload after changing
• SNMP can perform GET and SET operations on the CISCO-VTP-MIB objects.
• VTP server mode and VTP client mode are not supported. The only supported mode is transparent mode,

a reserved VLAN range. For example:
switch(config)# system vlan 2000 reserve
This will delete all configs on vlans 2000-2127. Continue anyway? (y/n) [no] y
After the switch reload, VLANs 2000 to 2127 are reserved for internal use, which requires that you enter
the copy running-config startup-config command before the switch reload. Creating VLANs within
this range is not allowed.
