Purpose
• Hidden–Password is not saved as clear text in vlan.data file.
Instead, a hexadecimal secret key generated from the
password is saved. This is displayed as the output of the show
vtp password.
• Secret–Use this keyword to directly configure the
32-character hexadecimalsecret key. System administrators
can distribute this secret key instead of the clear text
password.
This command is applicable for VTP version 3
Note
only.
Exits the configuration submode.
This command changes the operational state of a secondary server
to primary and advertises the information to the entire VTP domain.
If the password is configured as hidden, the user is prompted to
re-enter the password after this command.
Before the device takes over the role of primary, it attempts to
discover servers that conflict this information and follows another
primary server. If conflicting servers are discovered, the user must
reconfirm the takeover of operational state and the subsequent
overwriting of configuration.
• feature–Configures the device as primary server for a specific
stp7
feature database. For example, the MST database. Possible
values are MST and VLAN. By default, the VLAN database
is chosen.
This command is applicable for VTPv3
Note
