Disabling Vtp (Vtp Transparent Mode) - Cisco WS-C3750-48PS-S Software Configuration Manual

Configuring VTP
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to configure the switch as a VTP client:
Command
Step 1 configure terminal
Step 2 vtp mode client
Step 3
vtp domain domain-name
Step 4 vtp password password
Step 5
end
Step 6 show vtp status
Use the no vtp mode global configuration command to return the switch to VTP server mode. To return
the switch to a no-password state, use the no vtp password privileged EXEC command. When you
configure a domain name, it cannot be removed; you can only reassign a switch to a different domain.
You can also configure a VTP client by using the vlan database privileged EXEC command to enter
Note
VLAN database configuration mode and entering the vtp client command, similar to the second
procedure under
database configuration command to return the switch to VTP server mode or the no vtp password
VLAN database configuration command to return the switch to a no-password state. When you configure
a domain name, it cannot be removed; you can only reassign a switch to a different domain.

Disabling VTP (VTP Transparent Mode)

When you configure the switch for VTP transparent mode, VTP is disabled on the switch. The switch
does not send VTP updates and does not act on VTP updates received from other switches. However, a
VTP transparent switch running VTP Version 2 does forward received VTP advertisements on its trunk
links.
Before you create extended-range VLANs (VLAN IDs 1006 to 4094), you must set VTP mode to
Note
transparent by using the vtp mode transparent global configuration command. Save this configuration
to the startup configuration so that the switch boots up in VTP transparent mode. Otherwise, you lose
the extended-range VLAN configuration if the switch resets and boots up in VTP server mode (the
default).

Purpose
Enter global configuration mode.
Configure the switch for VTP client mode. The default setting is VTP
server.
(Optional) Enter the VTP administrative-domain name. The name can be
from 1 to 32 characters. This should be the same domain name as the VTP
server.
All switches operating in VTP server or client mode under the same
administrative responsibility must be configured with the same domain
name.
(Optional) Enter the password for the VTP domain.
Return to privileged EXEC mode.
Verify your entries in the VTP Operating Mode and the VTP Domain Name
fields of the display.
