Multiple VTP Domains on Single Switch

john-lucero · ‎02-19-2003

Is it possible to setup multiple VTP Domains (seperate domain names and passwords) to support multiple networks from a single switch. I am mostly familure with the Catalyst 5000 series, and do know that it can be done there.

Your input is appreciated.

sorry but any kind of cisco switch can be part of one vtp domain at any time..

No problem. This is how I understood things to work. I have a vendor telling me that they can do it. I will let them show me how. ;)

Thanks for the input

Although you can't have multiple VTP domains on a single switch, you can connect two switches in different domains. VLANs created or deleted in one domain won't be propagated to the other and VLANs that exist in both domains still pass traffic as expected.
