vlan.dat nexus

[AndreasHanck]

Dear Experts,

I need to find the vlan.dat on a Nexus 5020 to copy a new vlan.dat from a vtp server on the Nexus switch. Can you help me, where to find the vlan.dat on a Nexus?

Thanks for your help!

Regards,

Andreas

Nexus doesn't support VTP server mode, hence, there isn't a vlan.dat file. VTP transparent mode is stored in the configuration.

The file vlan.dat is stored on bootflash:
