Configuring VTP (VTP Transparent Mode)

When you configure the switch as VTP transparent, you disable VTP on the switch. A VTP transparent
switch does not send VTP updates and does not act on VTP updates that are received from other
switches. However, a VTP transparent switch running VTP version 2 does forward received VTP
advertisements out all of its trunk links.
Note Network devices in VTP transparent mode do not send VTP join messages. On Catalyst 4500 series
switches with trunk connections to network devices in VTP transparent mode, configure the VLANs that
are used by the transparent-mode network devices or that need to be carried across trunks as pruning
ineligible (use the clear vtp pruneeligible command).
To disable VTP on the switch, perform this task in privileged mode:
Task
Step 1 Disable VTP on the switch by configuring it for
VTP transparent mode.
Step 2
Verify the VTP configuration.
