Command
VTP Domain
Use
This is the legacy command for setting up a VTP domain name and enabling VTP on a network. If you have full communication between your VTP network, you only need to use this command on the VTP server because other switches will automatically learn the VTP domain from received updates. Note: Switches will not change their domain automatically if they already are in a VTP domain.
Syntax
Switch(vlan)#vtp domain <name>
Example
In the below example we will configure SW1 to be in the vtp domain howtonetwork.net.
Cat1#vlan database % Warning: It is recommended to configure VLAN from config mode, as VLAN database mode is being deprecated. Please consult user documentation for configuring VTP/VLAN in config mode. SW1(vlan)#vtp domain howtonetwork.net SW1(vlan)#exit APPLY completed. Exiting…. Cat1#
Checking SW4, we can see it automatically joined howtonetwork.net.
