What is the function of VTP in a LAN switching environment?
What is the function of VTP in a LAN switching environment? controls broadcastsstandardizes VLAN tagssimplifies VLAN managementcreates subinterfaces for inter-VLAN routing
Which two statements describe VTP transparent mode operation?
A switch running in VTP Transparent mode will not participate in VLAN synchronization. With VTP version 2, it will forward VLAN traffic out its trunk interfaces.
Which vtp mode processes vtp messages and saves vlan information in nvram?
server mode Answer by: sean_zhank
What does VTP mean in networking terms?
Vlan trunk Protocol
What VTP mode can only accept Vlan information and not change it?
Client
What do you need to do to setup a VTP domain?
BY using the VTP domain on cisco switch to pass the VLan informetion and any changes that will be happen in vtp server the client switch will get the same informetion from its VTp server switch..
What are two features of VTP client mode operation?
unable to add VLANS can forward VLAN information to other swithces in the same VTP domain
What is the name of the vtp mode of operation that enables a switch to forword only vtp advertisements while still permitting the editting of local vlan information?
Transparent mode
Which events will cause the VTP revision number on a VTP server to change?
Adding, modifying, or removing a VLAN from the VTP server will cause the revision number to change. Another possible way is if a Client gets a higher revision number than the server. If this happens the server will take take the revision number and the VLAN information from the client and advertise the information to everyone in the VTP domain.
How do you create VLAN step-by-step?
AnswerVLANs are created on Layer 2 switches to control broadcasts and enforce the use of a Layer 3 device for communications. Each VLAN is created in the local switch's database for use. If a VLAN is not known to a switch, that switch cannot transfer traffic across any of its ports for that VLAN. VLANs are created by number, and there are two ranges of usable VLAN numbers (normal range 1-1000 and extended range 1025-4096). When a VLAN is created, you can also give it certain attributes such as a VLAN name, VLAN type, and its operational state. To create a VLAN, use the following steps.1) Configure VTP. VTP is a protocol used by Cisco switches to maintain a consistent database between switches for trunking purposes. VTP is not required to create VLANs; however, Cisco has set it up to act as a conduit for VLAN configuration between switches as a default to make administration of VLANs easier. Because of this, you must first either configure VTP with a domain name or disable VTP on the switch.2) Create the VLAN. VLANs are created by number. The two ranges of VLANs are as follows: The standard range consists of VLANs 1 to 1000. The extended range consists of VLANs 1025 to 4096. Extended VLANs are currently supported only on switches running COS software version 6.1 or greater. When you create a VLAN, you have many options to consider. Many options are valid only for FDDI and Token Ring VLANs. Some of the items configured deal with options, such as private VLANs, which are discussed in other sections in this book. VLANs are created using the set vlan command for COS devices or with the vlan command in vlan database mode for IOS switches.
The network administrator wants to configure a switch to pass vlan update information to other switches in the domain but not update its own local vlan database which two steps should the administrat?
Configure the VTP mode of the switch to transparent. Configure the switch with the same VTP domain name as other switches in the network.
What is the purpose of VTP pruning?
- To restrict traffic on specified trunk lines.Explanation: By default all the VLANs that exist on a switch are active on a trunk link. VTP pruning allows the switch to not forward user traffic for VLANs that are not active on a remote switch. This feature dynamically prunes unneeded traffic across trunk links. If the VLAN traffic is needed at a later date, VTP will dynamically add the VLAN back to the trunk.-Rocky
