Changing VTP Version 3 Modes

For additional details, see the
Note
Each database is propagated by an instance of the VTP protocol. As these instances are independent, they
can operate in different modes. The set vtp mode command allows you to set the mode for a particular
VTP instance. The VTP instance is identified by the name of the feature to which it applies. The set vtp
mode command has been extended to include a feature that you specify to identify the database to which
the command applies. The unknown keyword allows you to configure the behavior of the switch
databases that it cannot interpret. (These databases will be features handled by future extensions of VTP
version 3). If you enter the set vtp mode transparent unknown command, the packets for the unknown
features are flooded through the switch. If you enter the set vtp mode off unknown command, the packets
are dropped. The "unknown" feature can only be configured with off or transparent modes. The default
mode is off for all databases. The mode of the VLAN database is preserved when VTP versions are
changed.
In software release 8.1(1), the only supported database propagation is for the VLAN database; therefore,
Note
there are no "unknown" databases.
