Configuring VTP

VTP and Switch Stacks

VTP configuration is the same in all members of a switch stack. When the switch stack is in VTP server
or client mode, all switches in the stack carry the same VTP configuration. When VTP mode is
transparent or off, the stack is not taking part in VTP.

VTP version 3 functions the same on a standalone switch or a stack except when the switch stack is the
primary server for the VTP database. In this case, the MAC address of the stack master is used as the
primary server ID. If the master switch reloads or is powered off, a new stack master is elected.

When a switch joins the stack, it inherits the VTP and VLAN properties of the stack master.
All VTP updates are carried across the stack.
When VTP mode is changed in a switch in the stack, the other switches in the stack also change VTP
mode, and the switch VLAN database remains consistent.
If you do not configure the persistent MAC address feature (by entering the stack-mac persistent
timer [0 | time-value] global configuration command, when the new master is elected, it sends a
takeover message with the new master MAC address as the primary server.
If persistent MAC address is configured, the new master waits for the configured stack-mac
persistent timer value. If the previous master switch does not rejoin the stack during this time, then
the new master issues the takeover message.
