VTP Inter-VLAN
routing

Purpose of VTP
You can create VLANs on a switch.
What if you have the same VLANs on 10
linked switches? Or 100 linked switches?
Do you have to create the VLANs on every
switch and allow them on each trunk?
VTP helps.
But you still have to assign access ports to
VLANs on each switch.

VTP domain
Group of layer 2 switches sharing VLAN data.
Ends at router or layer 3 switch.
Switch can be linked but not part of domain.
Each switch can belong to only one domain.
Domain is defined by its name.
Proprietary to Cisco, so all switches in
domain must be Cisco switches.
