CCNA: Cisco Certified Network Associate — Question 268

What are two benefits of using VTP in a switching environment? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. It allows switches to read frame tags.
• B. It allows ports to be assigned to VLANs automatically.
• C. It maintains VLAN consistency across a switched network.
• D. It allows frames from multiple VLANs to use a single interface.
• E. It allows VLAN information to be automatically propagated throughout the switching environment.

Correct answer: C, E

Explanation

The correct answers, C and E, highlight VTP's role in ensuring VLAN consistency and facilitating the automatic distribution of VLAN information across the network. Options A, B, and D do not accurately represent the functions of VTP; A refers to frame tagging, B to manual VLAN assignment, and D to interface utilization, none of which are VTP features.
