 VTP Concepts

The role of VTP is to maintain VLAN

configuration consistency across a common
network administration domain.

 VTP Implementation
• There are two types of VTP advertisements:
1. Requests from clients that want information at
bootup
2. Responses from servers
• There are three types of VTP messages:
1. Advertisement requests
2. Summary advertisements
3. Subset advertisements

 VTP Configuration
1. Determine the version number of VTPs that will be
used.
2. Decide whether this switch is to be a member of an
existing management domain or whether a new
domain should be created. If a management
domain exists, determine the name and password
of the domain.
3. Choose a VTP mode for the switch.

Inter-VLAN Issues and Solutions

• Two of the most common issues that

arise in a multiple-VLAN environment
are as follows:
– The need for end-user devices to reach
nonlocal hosts
– The need for hosts on different VLANs to
communicate
