which the existing database is stored.

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.
Examples This example shows how to specify the IFS file system file where VTP configuration is stored:
