VTP

Posted by Peter Kurdziel on November 21, 2008

VTP – manages VLANs.

VTP only learns about the normal range (1-1005). Extended vlans (1006-4094)are not supported.

Until you assign a VTP domain name you can not create/modify/propagate vlan info to other switches.

Highest revision number wins. To reset the revision number change the domain name then change it back to what you had and the counter will be zeroed out.

The switch must be in VTP transparent mode when you create extended range vlans. If you have extended range vlans configured on your switch you will receive an error message if you try to change the vtp mode to server or client.

VTP client does not create a vlan.dat file.

To reset the VTP mode do no vtp mode.
