VTP Beginners question

[JonathanUK]

Hi

I have two Cisco 2950 switches and some cisco 2610 routers and am trying to follow a lab exercise in my CCNA sybex book concerning VTP.

When I try and configure the VTP server side of things on the switch I get the following message after trying to enter command:

switch#config terminal

switch(config)#vtp mode server

Error message

Configure IFS filesystem file where VTP configuration is stored.

Any clues how to fix this, is there something in the basic setup which I haven't configured correctly?

Most likely, you should first enter:

vlan database

and then:

vtp mode server

exit

Always use exit to end vlan database configuration.

Server-mode is the default btw.
