Purpose of VTP You can create VLANs on a switch. What if you have the same VLANs on 10
linked switches? Or 100 linked switches? Do you have to create the VLANs on every
switch and allow them on each trunk? VTP helps. But you still have to assign access ports to
VLANs on each switch.

VTP domain Group of layer 2 switches sharing VLAN data. Ends at router or layer 3 switch. Switch can be linked but not part of domain. Each switch can belong to only one domain. Domain is defined by its name. Proprietary to Cisco, so all switches in
domain must be Cisco switches.

VTP server One switch acts as server. Create VLANs on this switch. Information saved in vlan.dat. Server sends VLAN information to client
switches over active trunk links. Add, delete, rename VLANs on server. Default mode of switch is server.
14 May 2023 7
VTP client Client receives VLAN information from
server. Client switches then have the same VLANs
as the server. Client does not save VLAN information. It is
held only in RAM and lost if switch is powered off.
14 May 2023 8
VTP modes Server – default mode. Sends VLAN
information to other switches. Client – receives VLAN information and
forwards it to other switches. Transparent – forward VTP traffic but do not
originate or use it. They can have their own VLANs, not shared with other switches.
14 May 2023 9
VTP defaults Version 1. (Versions 2 and 3 also exist.) VTP domain name is not set. VTP mode server One active VLAN, VLAN 1 Configuration revision number 0 Any switches added to a domain should be in
the default condition or they may send unwanted information to other switches.

VTP advertisements Consist of VTP header and VTP message Encapsulated inside Ethernet frame with tag
to pass over trunk link. Destination MAC address is multicast
address 01-00-0C-CC-CC-CC
14 May 2023 12
VTP message header Domain name Domain name length Version - VTP 1 or VTP 2, on Cisco 2960
switch. Configuration revision number Other fields, depending on type of message.
14 May 2023 13
Configuration revision number 32-bit number. Default value is 0. It is incremented each time a VLAN is added
or removed. Reset to 0 if domain name changes. Switch uses it to see if information is more
recent that what it already holds.
14 May 2023 14
Summary advertisement Sent immediately after a change is made,
with updated revision number. Sent every 5 minutes by servers and clients
to check on current VTP configuration revision number.
Contains the VTP domain name, the current revision number, and other VTP configuration details.
14 May 2023 15
VTP Summary advertisement A switch receives a summary advertisement. Compares domain name to its own domain name. If name is different, the switch ignores the packet. If the name is the same, the switch compares the
revision number to its own revision number. Number higher or equal, ignored the packet. Number lower, sends an advertisement request.
14 May 2023 16
Request Advertisement
Sent by client to server if: The VTP domain name has been changed The switch receives a summary
advertisement with a higher configuration revision number than its own
A subset advertisement message is missed for some reason
The switch has been reset
14 May 2023 17
Subset advertisement Contains VLAN information. Several may be
needed if there is a lot of information. Sent by server in response to a request or
after: Creating or deleting a VLAN Suspending or activating a VLAN Changing the name of a VLAN Changing the MTU of a VLAN

Pros and cons Small network – don’t bother with VTP. Big network – good for consistency and
easier to make changes. Server switches need lots of flash memory,
clients do not. Redundancy – don’t have everything on one
server switch. Problems from large domains. Extreme care when adding a switch.
14 May 2023 21
Why transparent? Put a switch in transparent mode if it has
local VLANs that are not on other switches. The other switches do not need to know
about them.
14 May 2023 22
VTP pruning Disabled by default Enable it on one server in domain. Stops VLAN traffic from being sent on links
that do not lead to devices on that VLAN. Cuts down on traffic on trunk links.
14 May 2023 23
Domain names and passwords Configure a domain name on the first server
switch. The other switches will learn it. If you configure it on other switches, check
that it is exactly the same. It is case sensitive. If you use a password then it must be exactly
the same on all switches.
14 May 2023 24
Versions VTP version 1 is used by default on Catalyst
switches, but they can use version 2. If you configure version 2 on one switch then
the other switches should learn the new version and change to it.
If a switch is not capable of running version 2 then it will not exchange advertisements.
14 May 2023 25
Configure VTP Configure VTP with a domain name before
creating VLANs on the server. Existing VLANs are removed when you start
to configure VTP. Check that links are trunk links. Configure client switches to client mode.

Commands on server SW1(config)#vtp domain cisco1 SW1(config)#vtp password cisco (Password is optional) Server mode is default, but if it was changed: SW1(config)#vtp mode server Version 1 is default, but command is: SW1(config)#vtp version 1
14 May 2023 27
Commands on server Create VLANs Check that link is a trunk. Check VTP operation SW1# show vtp status Assign switch ports to VLANs.
14 May 2023 28
Client configuration SW2(config)#vtp mode client
Check that link is a trunk. Check VTP operation SW2# show vtp status Assign switch ports to VLANs.

Things to check VTP Version. It needs to be the same on all
switches in the domain. Domain name. Is it exactly the same on all
switches? VTP Password if any. Is it exactly the same on all
switches? Check that there is at least one server. Better to
have at least two. If you recently added a new switch, had its revision
number been set to 0?
