Chapter 14 Configuring VTP
Monitoring VTP
Note You can use the vtp mode transparent global configuration command to disable VTP on the switch and
then to change its VLAN information without affecting the other switches in the VTP domain.
Monitoring VTP
You monitor VTP by displaying VTP configuration information: the domain name, the current VTP
revision, and the number of VLANs. You can also display statistics about the advertisements sent and
received by the switch.
Table 14-3 shows the privileged EXEC commands for monitoring VTP activity.
