VCMP and VTP Interworking and Replacement Roadmap
VTP and VCMP are proprietary protocols, and cannot interwork. Huawei S series switches and Cisco switches can be used on the entire network. Configurations can be performed on the switch that is directly connected to Huawei and Cisco switches to implement interworking between Huawei and Cisco switches. The following describes three types of hybrid networking models.
Hybrid networking 1: C-H Model
In the C-H model, a Cisco switch directly connects to a Huawei S series switch that has no downstream Cisco switch connected.
Hybrid networking 2: C-H-C Model
In the C-H-C model, a Cisco switch directly connects to a Huawei S series switch that has a downstream Cisco switch connected.
Hybrid networking 3: C-H-H-C Model
In the C-H-H-C model, a Cisco switch directly connects to a Huawei S series switch, and another edge switch of the VCMP network connects to a Cisco switch.
Huawei S series switches can replace switches in a Cisco VTP domain.
