Configuring Vtp V3 - Cisco Nexus 6000 Series Configuration Manual

Configuring VTP V3

Parameters
VTP per Interface
Configuring VTP V3

Note
• The overlapping of system reserved VLANs between Cisco Nexus 6000 Series Switches and Cisco
Before You Begin
Ensure that you are in the correct virtual device context (VDC) (or enter the switchto vdc command). VLAN
names and IDs can be repeated in different VDCs, so you must confirm which VDC that you are working in.

mode in the network. Disabling VLAN 1 from any of these ports prevents VTP from functioning
properly in transparent mode.
Nexus 5000 Series Switches causes interoperability issues. When a Cisco Catalyst 6000 Switch
sends a VLAN reserved in the Cisco Nexus switch, it causes the Cisco Nexus 5000 and 6000 Series
Switches to move to VTP Transparent Mode.
Check the generated syslog messages in the Cisco Nexus Switches for information on the VLAN
that caused the interoperability issue.
