Comments
If you do not want to use VTP to globally
propagate the VLAN configuration
information, you can assign a static-access port
to a VLAN and set the VTP mode to
transparent to disable VTP.
The switch automatically transitions to VTP
transparent mode (VTP is disabled). No VTP
configuration is required.
You can configure at least one trunk port on the
switch and make sure that this trunk port is
connected to the trunk port of a second switch.
Some restrictions apply to trunk ports. For more
information, see the "Trunks Interacting with
Other Features" section on page
You can change the VTP version on the switch
and enable VTP pruning.
You can define the allowed-VLAN list, change
the pruning-eligible list, and configure the
native VLAN for untagged traffic on the trunk
port.
You must connect the dynamic-access port to an
end station and not to another switch.
Configure the VMPS and the client with the
same VTP domain name.
You can change the reconfirmation interval and
the retry count on the VMPS client switch.
You can define the allowed-VLAN list, change
the pruning-eligible list, and configure the
native VLAN for untagged traffic on the trunk
port.
