When you configure a domain name, it cannot be removed; you can only reassign a switch to a different
domain. To return a switch in another mode to VTP server mode, use the no vtp mode global
configuration command. To return the switch to a no-password state, use the no vtp password global
configuration command.
This example shows how to configure the switch as a VTP server with the domain name eng_group and
the password mypassword:
Switch(config)# vtp domain eng_group
Setting VTP domain name to eng_group.
Switch(config)# vtp mode server
Setting device to VTP Server mode for VLANS.
Switch(config)# vtp password mypassword
Setting device VLAN database password to mypassword.
Switch(config)# end
OL-26520-01
Purpose
Configure the switch for VTP mode (client, server, transparent or off).
(Optional) Configure the database:
•
vlan—the VLAN database is the default if none are configured.
mst—the multiple spanning tree (MST) database.
•
unknown—an unknown database type.
•
(Optional) Set the password for the VTP domain. The password can be 8 to
64 characters. If you configure a VTP password, the VTP domain does not
function properly if you do not assign the same password to each switch in
the domain.
See the
"Configuring a VTP Version 3 Password" section on page 14-14
options available with VTP version 3.
Return to privileged EXEC mode.
Verify your entries in the VTP Operating Mode and the VTP Domain Name
fields of the display.
(Optional) Save the configuration in the startup configuration file.
Only VTP mode and domain name are saved in the switch running

configuration and can be copied to the startup configuration file.
