show vtp status Field Descriptions (continued)
Description
Displays the VTP operating mode, which can be server, client, or transparent.
Server: a switch in VTP server mode is enabled for VTP and sends
advertisements. You can configure VLANs on it. The switch guarantees that
it can recover all the VLAN information in the current VTP database from
NVRAM after reboot. By default, every switch is a VTP server.
Note The switch automatically changes from VTP server mode to VTP
client mode if it detects a failure while writing the configuration to
NVRAM and cannot return to server mode until the NVRAM is
functioning.
Client: a switch in VTP client mode is enabled for VTP, can send
advertisements, but does not have enough nonvolatile storage to store VLAN
configurations. You cannot configure VLANs on it. When a VTP client starts
up, it does not send VTP advertisements until it receives advertisements to
initialize its VLAN database.
Transparent: a switch in VTP transparent mode is disabled for VTP, does not
send or learn from advertisements sent by other devices, and cannot affect
VLAN configurations on other devices in the network. The switch receives
VTP advertisements and forwards them on all trunk ports except the one on
which the advertisement was received.
Name that identifies the administrative domain for the switch.
Displays whether pruning is enabled or disabled. Enabling pruning on a VTP
server enables pruning for the entire management domain. Pruning restricts
flooded traffic to those trunk links that the traffic must use to access the
appropriate network devices.
Displays if VTP Version 2 mode is enabled. All VTP Version 2 switches
operate in Version 1 mode by default. Each VTP switch automatically detects
the capabilities of all the other VTP devices. A network of VTP devices
should be configured to Version 2 only if all VTP switches in the network can
operate in Version 2 mode.
A 16-byte checksum of the VTP configuration.
Displays the date and time of the last configuration modification. Displays the
IP address of the switch that caused the configuration change to the database.
Description
Clears the VTP and pruning counters.
Configures the VTP filename, interface name, domain name, and mode.
Configures the VTP domain name, password, pruning, and mode.
