Configuring a VTP Server

When a switch is in VTP server mode, you can change the VLAN configuration and have it propagate
throughout the network.
To configure the switch as a VTP server, perform this task in privileged mode:
Task
Step 1
Define the VTP domain name.
Step 2
Place the switch in VTP server mode.
Step 3 (Optional) Set a password for the VTP domain.
Step 4
Verify the VTP configuration.
This example shows how to configure the switch as a VTP server and verify the configuration:
Console> (enable) set vtp domain Lab_Network
VTP domain Lab_Network modified
Console> (enable) set vtp mode server
VTP domain Lab_Network modified
Console> (enable) show vtp domain

Configuring a VTP Client

When a switch is in VTP client mode, you cannot change the VLAN configuration on the switch. The
client switch receives VTP updates from a VTP server in the management domain and modifies its
configuration accordingly.
To configure the switch as a VTP client, perform this task in privileged mode:
Task
Step 1 Define the VTP domain name.
Step 2 Place the switch in VTP client mode.
Step 3
Verify the VTP configuration.
