Configuring for VLAN with VTP
Configuring for VLAN using the VLAN Trunking Protocol (VTP) consists of
assigning the VTP domain name and setting the VTP mode to client. VTP, a
proprietary protocol of Cisco Systems, is used to propagate VLAN information
around a switched network.
To configure VLAN using VTP:
Note:
VTP can only be used in a Cisco network environment.
1. enable — Enter Administrator mode.
2. vtp domain opus — Assign a VTP domain name opus to which the
storage router belongs. If a domain name is not specified, the storage router
will assign itself to the first domain from which it receives a VTP message.
The default setting is
none.
3. vtp mode client — The default setting for the VTP mode is
client. Set
the VTP mode to
client if the current setting is transparent.
In client mode, the storage router will exchange VTP packets with an
externally attached switch to learn about the VLANs that are accessible in the
network.
Note:
The VTP mode is a cluster-wide configuration item. When set by the user and
saved, the mode setting becomes active on all storage routers in the cluster.
