the IEEE standard<br />
<strong>Force10</strong> systems can operate in VTP transparent mode, passing traffic on untagged VLANs. Thus,<br />
<strong>Force10</strong> systems can co-exist with VTP-enabled networks. <strong>Force10</strong> recommends deploying the<br />
standards-based GVRP protocol.<br />
VTP packets are passed untagged. Therefore, depending on the configuration, the FTOS native VLAN<br />
or portmode hybrid capability may be required to pass such packets. The portmode hybrid command<br />
sets a physical port or port-channel to accept both tagged and untagged frames.<br />
FTOS Release 7.7.1.0 introduces native VLAN capability on physical interfaces, and FTOS Release<br />
8.2.1.0 extends this to port-channel interfaces. In other words, starting with these releases, FTOS<br />
transparently bridges VTP packets over physical and port-channel interfaces, allowing VTP to run<br />
between devices connected to an FTOS switch/router.<br />
