Remember – VTP is sent untagged (so ends up on the native VLAN)

Posted on 2010/12/14 by

When VTP sends updates, they are sent without tags. So (assuming the native VLAN is VLAN 1) if you have restricted your trunk port at the receiving end with a command like:

switchport trunk allowed vlan 2,10,20

it will drop all untagged traffic – including the VTP updates.
Solution

switchport trunk allowed vlan add 1

    You can always change the native vlan to some other number (on both sides of the trunk) and VTP updates should flow if you disable VLAN 1 like we do.
