what's the similar technology with VTP on Procurve 3400?

I have a procurve 3400 CL Layer3 switch(Switch 1) and two 2520 layer switches (switch 2,switch 3), 

 

switch 1, fa0/1 ,<-> swicth2 ,fa 0/1

switch 1, fa0/2 ,<-> swicth3 ,fa 0/1,

 

I want to  setup 2 vlans , vlan 1and vlan 2

I need   Switch 1,port 03-10,plus switch 2,port 03-10,plus switch 3,port 03-10   as VLAN1, 

and  Switch 1,port 11-20 ,plus switch 2,port 11-20,plus switch 3,port 11-20 as vlan 2

 

 

I do know  there's VTP technologyon on Cisco switch,setup VTP server on layer 3 switch, 

and layer 2 switch only need to assign ports, 

 

I didn't find VTP available on procurve 3400, 

 

May I ask how to archive my goal on HP procurve 3400 +2520 switches? 

I would appreciate if there's any sample,thx.

No support for VTP as its a Cisco proprietaory protocol, but there is support for GVRP GARP VLAN Registration Protocol. HP's recommendation however was not to use it unless ports were authenticated due to the possibility of a user being able to added themselves to a VLAN that they shouldn't be in, as GVAP will map all VLANs to all uplinks and all switches with GVRP enable. Also best practice would be that you restrict VLANs only to the uplinks that require them.

I have GVRP and MVRP running permanently in the lab. there are options in both ProCurve and Comware to manage GVRP propagation eg
forbid trk1
port trunk permit vlan 1-998,1000-4094
