How do I delete a VTP domain from a 6509 running IOS?

I want to get rid of a VTP domain out of this box but can't find the command to do it. Here is the config:

vtp domain ENGLAB

vtp mode transparent

ENGLAB-6513-Native#sh vtp status

VTP Version : 2

Configuration Revision : 0

Maximum VLANs supported locally : 1005

Number of existing VLANs : 7

VTP Operating Mode : Transparent

VTP Domain Name : ENGLAB

VTP Pruning Mode : Disabled

VTP V2 Mode : Disabled

VTP Traps Generation : Disabled

I want to be able to connect a 4506 switch to this 6509 on the same layer 2 network and not have to have a VTP domain control access.

So is there a way to just plain remove the VTP configuration from the 6509?

You can change the vtp domain string to a null value with the command:

vtp domain ""

here's an example from a lab switch:

6k-native#show vtp status

VTP Version : 2

Configuration Revision : 0

Maximum VLANs supported locally : 1005

Number of existing VLANs : 30

VTP Operating Mode : Transparent

VTP Domain Name : blah

VTP Pruning Mode : Disabled

VTP V2 Mode : Disabled

VTP Traps Generation : Disabled

MD5 digest : 0x45 0xE2 0xD5 0x74 0x96 0x79 0x35 0xD6

6k-native#conf t

6k-native(config)#vtp domain ""

Changing VTP domain name from blah to

6k-native#show vtp status

VTP Version : 2

Configuration Revision : 0

Maximum VLANs supported locally : 1005

Number of existing VLANs : 30

VTP Operating Mode : Transparent

VTP Domain Name :

VTP Pruning Mode : Disabled

VTP V2 Mode : Disabled

VTP Traps Generation : Disabled

MD5 digest : 0xE8 0x53 0x9D 0x00 0x12 0x20 0xCA 0xD6

Note that if you use the command

vtp domain NULL, you'll simply change the vtp domain name to the string 'NULL' rather than assinging it a NULL value.

HTH,
