Configuring the Domain

Configuring the Domain
After you decide which version to run, set the VTP domain name and password on the first
switch. The VTP name can be up to 32 characters long. On both the 4000 and the IOS-based
switches, you can set the VTP domain password. The password is a minimum of 8 characters
and a maximum of 64 on the 4000, and although truncated to 64 characters on the IOS-based
switches, it has no minimum value.
