Configuring VTP
When you configure a domain name, it cannot be removed; you can only reassign a switch to a different
domain.
To return the switch to a no-password state, use the no vtp password global configuration command.
This example shows how to use global configuration mode to configure the switch as a VTP server with
the domain name eng_group and the password mypassword:
Switch# config terminal
Switch(config)# vtp mode server
Switch(config)# vtp domain eng_group
Switch(config)# vtp password mypassword
Switch(config)# end
You can also use VLAN database configuration mode to configure VTP parameters.
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to use VLAN database configuration mode to
configure the switch as a VTP server:
Command
Step 1
vlan database
Step 2
vtp server
Step 3
vtp domain domain-name
Step 4
vtp password password
Step 5
exit
Step 6
show vtp status

Purpose
Enter VLAN database configuration mode.
Configure the switch for VTP server mode (the default).
Configure a VTP administrative-domain name. The name can be 1 to 32
characters. All switches operating in VTP server or client mode under the
same administrative responsibility must be configured with the same domain
name.
(Optional) Set a 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.
Update the VLAN database, propagate it throughout the administrative
domain, and return to privileged EXEC mode.
Verify your entries in the VTP Operating Mode and the VTP Domain Name
fields of the display.
