Usage Guidelines Passwords are case sensitive. Passwords should match on all switches in the same domain.
When you use the no vtp password form of the command, the switch returns to the no-password state.
VTP pruning removes information about each pruning-eligible VLAN from VTP updates if there are no
stations belonging to that VLAN.
If you enable pruning on the VTP server, it is enabled for the entire management domain for VLAN IDs
1 to 1005.
Only VLANs in the pruning-eligible list can be pruned.
Pruning is supported with VTP version 1 and version 2.
Toggling the version 2 (v2) mode state modifies parameters of certain default VLANs.
