Access: read-only

Description: The unique identifier of the primary server for this VTP member and the associated database type.

There are two different VTP servers, the primary server and the secondary server. When a local device is configured as a server for a certain database type, it becomes secondary server by default. Primary server is an operational role under which a server can initiate or change the VTP configuration of the database type.

If this VTP member itself is the primary server, the value of this object is the same as the value of vtpDiscoverResultDeviceId of the instance.

What is vtpDiscoverResultPrimaryServer?

This read-only string identifies the primary server, the switch holding the operational role authorized to initiate or change VTP configuration for a given database type, as seen by a discovered VTP member, distinguishing it from any secondary servers which by default cannot initiate changes. An administrator checks this to know exactly which device in the domain actually controls changes to a given VLAN database, since simply being configured as a VTP server only makes a switch secondary by default. For example, if VLAN changes made on one server aren't propagating as expected, the admin would compare that server's identity against vtpDiscoverResultPrimaryServer to confirm whether it actually holds the primary role for that database type.
