All switches in a VTP domain must run the same VTP version.
You must configure a password on each switch in the management domain when in secure mode.
A VTP version 2-capable switch can operate in the same VTP domain as a switch running VTP
version 1 provided that VTP version 2 is disabled on the VTP version 2-capable switch (VTP
version 2 is disabled by default).
Do not enable VTP version 2 on a switch unless all of the switches in the same VTP domain are
version 2 capable. When you enable VTP version 2 on a switch, all of the version 2-capable
switches in the domain enable VTP version 2.
Enabling or disabling VTP pruning on a VTP server enables or disables VTP pruning for the entire
management domain.
Making VLANs pruning eligible or pruning ineligible on a switch affects pruning eligibility for
those VLANs on that device only (not on all switches in the VTP domain).
With software release 8.1(1), all VTP versions can be configured on a per-port basis. See the
