Disabling Vtp Version 3 On A Per-Port Basis - Cisco WS-C6506 Software Manual

Configuring VTP Version 3
If you do not specify the force keyword, the switch tries to discover some conflicting servers in the
domain. Conflicting servers follow a different primary server than the one in the configuration of the
local switch. You are prompted by the local switch for confirmation before proceeding with the takeover.
The prompting is necessary because taking over the domain involves overwriting the configuration of
any conflicting servers.
If you do not specify the optional feature argument, the local switch sends a takeover message for each
database for which it is a secondary or a primary server. If you specify a database, the switch takes over
only those databases that are associated with the specified feature.
To configure a takeover, perform this task in privileged mode:
Task
Step 1
Configure a takeover.
Step 2
Verify the takeover.
This example shows how to configure a takeover from a secondary switch that has a hidden password
configured and verify the configuration:
Console> (enable) set vtp primary force
Switch can become primary server for vlan feature only when configured as a server
Switch can become primary server for mst feature only when configured as a server
Console> (enable) set vtp mode server mst
Changing VTP mode for mst feature
VTP3 domain ENG modified
Console> (enable) set vtp mode server vlan
Changing VTP mode for vlan feature
VTP3 domain ENG modified
Console> (enable) set vtp primary force
This switch is becoming primary server for feature vlan.
This switch is becoming primary server for feature mst.
