nexus 3000 (3172T) is already in vtp client mode and cannot change it to off or transparent

[geo555]

I have a nexus 3172T in vtp client and is running nx-os 7.0.3.I7.6

I want to turn vtp mode off or transparent, but apparently I cannot do it. It does not give me any options to do it.

I read in another post that vtp in client or server mode is not supported on nexus 3000

(https://community.cisco.com/t5/switching/cisco-nexus-3k-vtp-mode-server/m-p/3361097#M410702)

So what should I do? I cannot create vlans.

thanks,

george

Hi @geo555 

What you are looking for is to disable VTP feature:

switch# configure terminal
switch(config)# no feature vtp 

Note: this will remove your VTP configuration, and implicitly, all the vlans, so make sure you are doing this in a maintenance window.

thanks very much for your answer.

since this is a pair of switches connected via vpc do you think I can do each one separately to minimize downtime?

Hi,

It's configured in vPC right?

I think you can minimize the downtime, but I do not think it can be eliminated. I do not know the exact inconsistency type for VTP parameters. For N5k - it's Type 2.

Can you share the following outputs:

show vpc consistency-parameters global

show vpc consistency-parameters vpc X  >  where X is a vpc port-channel
