Configuring VTP
Configuring VTP Version 3
This example shows how to enable VTP version 3 and verify the configuration:
Console> (enable)
set vtp version 3
VTP version 3 cannot be enabled on a switch with No Domain.
Console> (enable)
set vtp domain ENG
VTP domain ENG modified
Console> (enable)
set vtp version 3
VTP version 3 Server/Client for VLANDB requires Reduced Mac Address feature to
be enabled (use "set spantree macreduction enable" command)
Console> (enable)
set spantree macreduction enable
MAC address reduction enabled
Console> (enable)
set vtp version 3
This command will enable VTP version 3 on this switch.

Changing VTP Version 3 Modes
Note
For additional details, see the
“VTP Version 3 Modes” section on page 9-18
.
Each database is propagated by an instance of the VTP protocol. As these instances are independent, they
can operate in different modes. The
set vtp mode
command allows you to set the mode for a particular
VTP instance. The VTP instance is identified by the name of the feature to which it applies. The
set vtp
mode
command has been extended to include a
feature
that you specify to identify the database to which
the command applies. The
unknown
keyword allows you to configure the behavior of the switch
databases that it cannot interpret. (These databases will be features handled by future extensions of VTP
version 3). If you enter the
set vtp mode transparent unknown
command, the packets for the unknown
features are flooded through the switch. If you enter the
set vtp mode off unknown
command, the packets
are dropped. The “unknown” feature can only be configured with off or transparent modes. The default
mode is off for all databases. The mode of the VLAN database is preserved when VTP versions are
changed.
Note
In software release 8.1(1), the only supported database propagation is for the VLAN database; therefore,
there are no “unknown” databases.
