Feature Comparison
The following sections describe some general feature differences between the Cisco Catalyst OS
and Cisco IOS Software. This is not an exhaustive or detailed list of features and their operation,
but simply a comparison between the implementation and CLI syntax of some commonly used
features on the Cisco Catalyst 6500. For a more detailed feature description of all Cisco Catalyst
OS and Cisco IOS Software features, refer to the user documentation at
http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/lan/cat6000/index.htm.
VLAN Trunking Protocol (VTP)
VTP is used to manage VLAN information among switches in a Layer 2 domain. VTP
administration is handled between switches configured as VTP servers and VTP clients to learn a
common VLAN topology throughout the network. A device can alternatively be configured as a
VTP transparent device, which does not participate in the VTP protocol but can forward VTP
advertisements. The only difference in VTP functionality between the Cisco Catalyst OS and Cisco
IOS Software is that the Cisco Catalyst OS allows VTP to be disabled completely (that is, the
device does not forward VTP advertisements in the “off” mode).
For Cisco IOS Software, VTP/VLAN configurations are executed in global configuration mode for
VTP transparent, VTP client, and VTP server systems. This example compares how to define the
VTP domain, mode, and VLANs and then apply them to ports:
Cisco Catalyst OS Cisco IOS Software
set vtp domain ENG-CAMPUS
set vtp mode server
set vlan 8 name engineering
set vlan 8 5/1—48
IOS#configure terminal
IOS(config)#vtp mode server
IOS(config)#vtp domain ENG_CAMPUS
IOS(config)#vlan 8
IOS(config-vlan)#name engineering
IOS(config)#interface range fastethernet 5/1—48
IOS(config-if-range)#switchport
IOS(config-if-range)#switchport mode access
IOS(config-if-range)#switchport access vlan 8
VTP Operation in Cisco IOS Software
Configuration changes in the Cisco Catalyst OS are written to NVRAM immediately after a change
is made. In contrast, Cisco IOS Software does not save configuration changes to NVRAM unless
you issue the copy run start command. VTP client and server systems require that VTP updates
from other VTP servers be immediately saved in NVRAM without user intervention. Thus, the VTP
