Configuring the VTP Mode

Configuring the VTP Mode
Create your first switch as a server and then create the connected switches as clients, or whatever
you decided to configure them as. You don’t have to do this as a separate command as we did; you
can configure the VTP information in one line, including passwords, modes, and versions:
Terry_4000> (enable) set vtp domain
Usage: set vtp [domain <name>] [mode <mode>]
Using VLAN Trunk Protocol (VTP) 473
[passwd <passwd>]pruning <enable|disable>]
[v2 <enable|disable>
(mode = client|server|transparent
Use passwd '0' to clear vtp password)
Usage: set vtp pruneeligible <vlans>
(vlans = 2..1000
An example of vlans is 2-10,1000)
Terry_4000> (enable) set vtp domain Globalnet mode server
VTP domain Globalnet modified
On the 2950 and 3550 switches, the commands are as follows:
Terry_2950#conf t
