Configuring The Vtp Mode - Cisco Catalyst 4500 Series Configuration Manual

VLAN Trunking Protocol
Caution VTP version 1 and VTP version 2 are not interoperable on network devices in the same VTP domain.
Every network device in the VTP domain must use the same VTP version. Do not enable VTP version 2
unless every network device in the VTP domain supports version 2.
In a Token Ring environment, you must enable VTP version 2 or VTP version 3 for Token Ring VLAN
Note
switching to function properly on devices that support Token Ring interfaces.
To enable the VTP version, perform this task:
Command
Step 1
Switch(config)# vtp version {1 | 2 | 3}
Step 2
Switch# show vtp status | include {v1 | v2 | v3}
This example shows one way to enable VTP version 2:
Switch# configure terminal
Switch(config)# vtp version 2
V2 mode enabled.
Switch(config)#
This example shows how to enable VTP version 2 with any release:
Switch# vtp version 2
V2 mode enabled.

This example shows how to verify the configuration:
Switch# show vtp status | include V2
VTP V2 Mode: Enabled
