RE: VTP Question on Router

If you not going to use vlan on the routers I would turn it off on them.

Another suggestion would be to change the VTP domain name and password.

Subject: VTP Question on Router

Hi Group ,

We recently had a large outage because of some VTP switches left in the core
with VTP mode server . and a customer plugged in his switch 3 layers down
which re-wrote our vlans .

So we were asked to go and look at all devices and check VTP modes .
Its a no brainer for swh to be set to transparent mode on our environment .

But we have some legacy 28xx and 38xx . which show up on solar winds reports
as vtp mode server .
Cisco says that since these routers have the ability to support erther
switch modules they support the command . and unless hardware is plugged in
or vlan 1 is configured we should be good .

They also said we could go and turn it off .
My question to the group is should we even mess with the config and turn vtp
off on the routers?
Or should we just let it be ?

We do not intend to plug in swh modules on those routers any time in the
future .
