Configuring VTP

This document describes how to configure VTP server and client modes on Cisco switches. SW1 is configured as the VTP server for the domain "PyNet". SW2 and SW3 are configured as VTP clients. VLAN 10 is created on the server and automatically propagates to the clients. Interfaces are assigned to VLAN 10 and ping tests between PCs on the VLAN are successful, showing the VTP configuration was successful.

CONFIGURING VTP

In this lab exercise you’ll be configuring VTP (VLAN Trunk Protocol) server and client mode on Cisco Switches. Create a
topology like shown below:

In this lab SW1 will be the VTP server for VTP domain – PyNet.

Make the ports of Switch connecting to other switches trunk ports.


SW1:

SW1(config)#int fa 0/2
SW1(config-if)#switchport mode trunk

For SW1 – interface fa 0/2, for SW2 – interface fa 0/1 and interface fa 0/2 and for SW3 – interface fa 0/1.

Now, let’s configure the VTP domain. Use the commands below to configure SW1 as the server.

Go to the global configuration mode of SW1 and set the domain name to PyNet.

SW1(config)#
SW1(config)#vtp domain PyNet
Changing VTP domain name from NULL to PyNet

Now, I’ll change the mode of SW2 and SW3 using the command ‘vtp mode client’.
SW2:

SW2(config)#
SW2(config)#vtp mode client
Setting device to VTP CLIENT mode.
SW2(config)#
SW 3:

SW3(config)#
SW3(config)#vtp mode client
Setting device to VTP CLIENT mode.

The next step is to create VLAN 10 on the VTP server and check if it replicates the data base on our VTP Clients.

SW1(config)#
SW1(config)#vlan 10
SW1(config-vlan)#name Sales

You’ll observe VLAN 10 automatically appearing in the VLAN database of Client switches. You can check the details by
using the command ‘show vlan brief’ in the enable mode.

Assign interfaces to the VLAN 10 on SW1 and SW3 and then try to ping from PC 0 to PC 1.
