This document discusses VLAN Trunking Protocol (VTP) which allows switches to exchange VLAN configuration information and manage VLANs across multiple switches. It describes VTP domains, modes, advertisements and pruning. VTP is configured on switches to synchronize VLAN information and eliminate incorrect configurations. Troubleshooting tools like "show vtp status" and "show interfaces trunk" are used to verify proper VTP configuration and trunking.

- 1. Implement VTP LAN Switching and Wireless – Chapter 4
- 2. Objectives Explain the role of VTP in a converged switched network Describe the operation of VTP: VTP domains, VTP Modes, VTP Advertisements, and VTP Pruning. Configure VTP on the switches in a converged network.
- 3. Explain the Role of VTP in a Converged Switched Network Explain the role of VTP in a multi-switch network
- 4. Describe the Operation of VTP Describe the importance of the default VTP configuration
- 5. Describe the Operation of VTP Explain the role of domains in VTP
- 6. Describe the Operation of VTP Describe how VTP exchanges domain and VLAN information between switches in the same VTP domain
- 7. Describe the Operation of VTP Describe the role VTP modes play in enabling VTP to distribute and synchronize domain and VLAN configuration information in a network
- 8. Describe the Operation of VTP Explain how VTP pruning functions
- 9. Configure VTP on the Switches in a Converged Network Configure VTP on a Cisco Catalyst Switch
- 10. Configure VTP on the Switches in a Converged Network Identify and troubleshoot common VTP configuration problems
- 11. Configure VTP on the Switches in a Converged Network Manage VLANs on a VTP enabled network
- 12. Summary VTP is a Cisco proprietary protocol used to exchange VLAN information across trunk links. A switch can be in one of 3 VTP operating modes Client Cannot create, modify or delete VLAN Server Can create, modify & delete VLAN Transparent Can create, modify, & delete LOCAL VLAN Forwards VTP advertisements.
- 13. Summary VTP pruning Limits unnecessary dissemination of VLAN information. Verify VTP configuration Show VTP status Show interfaces trunk
