Usage Guidelines
You cannot use the vtp file command to load a new database. You can use it only to rename the file in
which the existing database is stored.
You can use the vtp if-id command to specify the name of the interface providing the VTP updater ID
for this device. The VTP updater is the device that adds, deletes, or modifies VLANs to a network, and
triggers a VTP updater to inform the rest of the system of the changes.
