Privileged EXEC
Release
12.2(53)SE2
This command is supported only on switches configured for VTP version 3.
A VTP primary server updates the database information and sends updates that are honored by all
devices in the system. A VTP secondary server can only back up the updated VTP configurations
received from the primary server to NVRAM.
By default, all devices come up as secondary servers. Primary server status is needed only for database
updates when the administrator issues a takeover message in the domain. You can have a working VTP
domain without any primary servers.
Primary server status is lost if the device reloads or domain parameters change.
