VTP Configuration Guidelines

Follow these guidelines when implementing VTP in your network:
•
•
Caution If you configure VTP in secure mode, the management domain will not function properly if you do not
assign a management domain password to each switch in the domain.

VTP Default Configuration
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 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).
