VTP Configuration Guidelines

You use the vtp global configuration command to set the VTP password, the version, the VTP file name,
the interface providing updated VTP information, the domain name, and the mode, and to disable or
enable pruning. For more information about available keywords, see the command descriptions in the
command reference for this release. The VTP information is saved in the VTP VLAN database. When
VTP mode is transparent, the VTP domain name and mode are also saved in the switch running
configuration file, and you can save it in the switch startup configuration file by entering the copy
running-config startup-config privileged EXEC command. You must use this command if you want to
save VTP mode as transparent if the switch resets.
When you save VTP information in the switch startup configuration file and restart the switch, the
configuration is selected as follows:

Default VTP Configuration
If the VTP mode is transparent in both the startup configuration and the VLAN database and the
VTP domain name from the VLAN database matches that in the startup configuration file, the
VLAN database is ignored (cleared). The VTP and VLAN configurations in the startup
configuration file are used. The VLAN database revision number remains unchanged in the VLAN
database.
If the VTP mode or the domain name in the startup configuration do not match the VLAN database,
the domain name and the VTP mode and configuration for the first 255 VLANs use the VLAN
database information.
