When you configure a domain name, it cannot be removed; you can only reassign a switch to a different
domain.
To return a switch in another mode to VTP server mode, use the no vtp mode global configuration
command. To return the switch to a no-password state, use the no vtp password global configuration
command.
This example shows how to configure the switch as a VTP server with the domain name eng_group and
the password mypassword:
Switch(config)# vtp domain eng_group
Setting VTP domain name to eng_group.
Switch(config)# vtp mode server
Setting device to VTP Server mode for VLANS.
Switch(config)# vtp password mypassword
Setting device VLAN database password to mypassword.
Switch(config)# end
