Hello, 
i have recently created new vlan on my Cisco 6509 core switch. but the newly 
created vlan was not learned by other switches in the network. i found out that 
the vtp domain name is different. the supervisor engine on the 6509 is brought 
from another network with different vtp domain name. the IOS version is  Version 
12.1(8a)E5. when i try to change the vtp domain name to the right one, even i 
don't have the option to set from the command line. from the global 
configuration mode, i only have the following option that i can not change the 
mode, password, mgt domain.
MEKENDCS01(config)#vtp ?
  file   Configure IFS filesystem file where VTP configuration is stored.
  if-id  Configure interface as the preferred source for the VTP IP updater 
address.
  
again the option to create vlan from global configuration mode is not available. 
i can only create vlans from vlan database.
MEKENDCS01(config)#vlan ?
  mapping  Configure .1q/ISL VLAN mappings
 vtp status is as follows.
MEKENDCS01#sh vtp statu
