Multiple choice

Which of the following statements is true when VTP is configured on a switched network that incorporates VLANs?

  1. VTP is only compatible with the 802.1Q standard.

  2. VTP adds to the complexity of managing a switched network.

  3. VTP allows a to be configured to belong to more than one VTP domain.

  4. VTP dynamically communicates VLAN changes to all switches in the same VTP domain.

D Correct answer
Explanation

VTP (VLAN Trunking Protocol) synchronizes VLAN configuration information across all switches in the same VTP domain. When you create, delete, or rename a VLAN on one VTP server switch, those changes are automatically propagated to all other switches in the domain. This greatly simplifies VLAN management on large switched networks. Option A is false because VTP supports both ISL and 802.1Q trunking. Option B is subjective - VTP actually reduces complexity by automating VLAN management. Option C is false - a switch can only belong to one VTP domain at a time.
