Separate Network

[Alcides Miguel]

Hello, i've a network up and running

in the green zone all the equipament is running in VTP Domain: CUCA and the management network is 10.30.50.0/24, now i need to configure the others switch's outside the green zone each in his VTP Domain but i need that all the switch residing in the same management network.

the reason why all other switch's will be in it's own VTP Domain is that they need to be autonymous to not depends from configuration in another VTP Server...

please help!

IP address and VTP are separate so all you would have to do is this

Core site

vtp domain CORE

vtp mode server

Site 1

vtp domain SITE1

vtp mode transparent   or you could do    vtp mode server

Site 2

vtp domain SITE2

vtp mode transparent    or you could do     vtp mode server

Site 3

vtp domain SITE3

vtp mode transparent    or you could do     vtp mode server

Hi,

Please configure like below....

Issue this command in order to set the domain name:
#set vtp domain name

Note: When you configure a new switch, the VTP domain name should be configured before you create any non-default VLANs.

Issue this command in order to set the mode:
#set vtp mode server/client/transparent

Issue these commands in order to monitor the VTP operation and status:
#show vtp domain
#show vtp status

Do the above config in all your 3 sites or in required new sites.

Also you can refer the below link for any information.

hello, Thanks for attention and quickly response... i already configured the VTP Domain and mode... my question is how do i connect one Domain to Other and have them using the same subnet for management porpuse?

see the diagram below

the others VTP Domain LINK's should be trunk or access?

and do i need to configure the same vlan indentifier in all VTP Domain's? like VLan 100 Domain 1,2,3,4 ?

and set an interface vlan with the ip in the management network?

best regards

Hi,

Two different VTP domains do not communicate with each other at all. So, you must match the VTP domain if you want the information to be shared.

Hope this clear you...

thanks you all for atention, i think that the question was misconceived since no information(vlan's) at need to be shared they should be connected only for management porpuse.

and the answer for my own question is that all the switch can be in it's own VTP Domain but, the VTP Mode must to be Transparent

thanks!
