Enabling VTP Version 2
By default, VTP version 2 is disabled on VTP version 2-capable network devices. When you enable VTP
version 2 on a server, every VTP version 2-capable network device in the VTP domain enables version 2.
VTP version 1 and VTP version 2 are not interoperable on network devices in the same VTP domain.
Caution
Every network device in the VTP domain must use the same VTP version. Do not enable VTP version 2
unless every network device in the VTP domain supports version 2.
To enable VTP version 2, perform this task:
Command
Step 1
Switch# [no] vtp version {1 | 2}
Step 2
Switch# show vtp status
This example shows how to enable VTP version 2:
Switch# vtp version 2
V2 mode enabled.
