Implementing Cisco IP Switched Networks (CCNP SWITCH, legacy) — Question 124

Which two statements about VTP are true? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. Switches running in transparent mode pass VTP messages.
• B. In VTPv2, a new switch can learn the VTP domain name from its peer over a trunk port.
• C. It supports only one server switch within a network.
• D. It supports clear-text passwords only.
• E. A switch running in transparent mode saves learned VLANs to its local database.

Correct answer: A, D

Explanation

Option A is correct because switches in transparent mode do indeed forward VTP messages. Option D is also correct as VTP only supports clear-text passwords. Options B and C are incorrect because VTPv2 allows a new switch to learn the VTP domain name from any switch, and there can be multiple server switches in a network. Option E is incorrect as switches in transparent mode do not save VLAN information to their local database.
