Enabling Vtp Version 2 - Cisco WS-C2960-24LC-S Software Configuration Manual

Chapter 13 Configuring VTP

Enabling VTP Version 2

VTP Version 2 is disabled by default on VTP Version 2-capable switches. When you enable VTP
Version 2 on a switch, every VTP Version 2-capable switch in the VTP domain enables Version 2. You
can only configure the version when the switches are in VTP server or transparent mode.
VTP Version 1 and VTP Version 2 are not interoperable on switches in the same VTP domain. Every
Caution
switch in the VTP domain must use the same VTP version. Do not enable VTP Version 2 unless every
switch in the VTP domain supports Version 2.
In TrCRF and TrBRF Token ring environments, you must enable VTP Version 2 for Token Ring VLAN
Note
switching to function properly. For Token Ring and Token Ring-Net media, VTP Version 2 must be
disabled.
