Enabling VTP Pruning
Pruning increases available bandwidth by restricting flooded traffic to those trunk links that the traffic
must use to access the destination devices. You can only enable VTP pruning on a switch in VTP server
mode.
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to enable VTP pruning in the VTP domain:
Command
Step 1
configure terminal
Step 2
vtp pruning
Step 3
end
Step 4
show vtp status
To disable VTP pruning, use the no vtp pruning global configuration command.
With VTP versions 1 and 2, when you enable pruning on the VTP server, it is enabled for the entire VTP
domain. In VTP version 3, you must manually enable pruning on each switch in the domain.
Only VLANs included in the pruning-eligible list can be pruned. By default, VLANs 2 through 1001 are
pruning-eligible on trunk ports. Reserved VLANs and extended-range VLANs cannot be pruned. To
change the pruning-eligible VLANs, see the
page
