- 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.

What else can I help you with?
What is the purpose of VTP transparent mode?
VTP transparent mode allows a switch to forward VTP advertisements but does not participate in the VTP domain. This mode is useful when you want to maintain VLAN information locally without affecting the rest of the VTP domain.

What are the VTP modes?
VTP server mode and VTP transparent mode.
What will happen if VTP server is accidentally configured as VTP client?
The VTP domain cannot be modified.
What is a VTP cable?
VTP is Vertical Trading Point
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..
Which two conditions would require a VTP client to send a request advertisement to a VTP server?
The switch has been reset. The VTP domain name has been changed.
N which mode is a VTP switch operating if it has been configured to only forward VTP advertisements?
transparent
How are vtp messages sent between switches in a domain?
Layer 2 multicast. vtp is stopped at the router.
Which vtp mode processes vtp messages and saves vlan information in nvram?
server mode Answer by: sean_zhank
What are two of the requirements for vtp to function correctly?
For VLAN Trunking Protocol (VTP) to function correctly, all switches in the VTP domain must be configured with the same VTP domain name. Additionally, at least one switch must be set to VTP server mode to create and propagate VLAN information, while other switches can be configured as clients or transparent modes. Proper trunking must also be established on the links connecting the switches to facilitate the transmission of VTP advertisements.
