What Is a Vtp Domain Name

A VLAN Trunking Protocol (VTP) domain is one switch or several interconnected switches sharing the same VLAN Trunking Protocol (VTP) environment. A switch can be configured only in one VLAN Trunking Protocol (VTP) domain. Switches in different VTP domains do not share VLAN Trunking Protocol (VTP) information.

How do I setup a VTP domain?

  1. a switch has to be configured as either a VTP server or VTP client.
  2. the VTP domain name has to be the same on both switches.
  3. if present, the VTP domain password has to be the same.
  4. VTP versions have to match.
  5. the link between the switches has to be a trunk link.

What is Gvrp used for?

The GVRP is an IEEE 802.1Q-compliant method for facilitating automatic (dynamic) VLAN membership configuration. GVRP-enabled switches can exchange VLAN configuration information with other GVRP-enabled switches. Policy rules or other network management methods can determine who is admitted to a VLAN.
