- 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.

Hi everybody the difference between VTP version 1 and version 2 are : 1- version 1 : it supports Token Ring Vlans 2- version 2 : it supports consistency checks .it means , when the new information about the VTP domain is entered through the command line or others as SNMP ,VTP version 2 will perform the consistency check . in VTP version 2 , if a switch is in transparent mode .it will forward the message without checking version information .
