Configuring VTP

Configuring VTP
You can configure VTP in the client or server mode on Cisco Nexus devices.
You can enable VTP and then configure the VTP mode (server [default], client, transparent, or off). If you
enable VTP, you must configure either version 1 or version 2. If you are using VTP in a Token Ring
environment, you must use version 2.
