200-301 Exam - Question 216


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

Show Answer
Correct Answer: AE

For switches to share VLAN information via VTP (VLAN Trunking Protocol), they must be in the same VTP domain, which means all switches must be configured with the same VTP domain name. This ensures that VLAN information is properly synchronized among the switches. Additionally, all switches within a VTP domain should use the same VTP version to ensure compatibility and proper operation. Different versions of VTP (e.g., VTPv1, VTPv2, VTPv3) are not compatible with each other, thus consistency in VTP version across switches in the same domain is essential.

"All switches in a VTP domain must have the same domain name, but they do not need to run the same VTP version."https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/switches/lan/catalyst3560/software/release/12-2_52_se/configuration/guide/3560scg/swvtp.html#wp1107364 A&D are correct

I used your link and think the answer is A & D based off: "Before adding a VTP client switch to a VTP domain, always verify that its VTP configuration revision number is lower than the configuration revision number of the other switches in the VTP domain. Switches in a VTP domain always use the VLAN configuration of the switch with the highest VTP configuration revision number. If you add a switch that has a revision number higher than the revision number in the VTP domain, it can erase all VLAN information from the VTP server and VTP domain. See the "Adding a VTP Client Switch to a VTP Domain" section for the procedure for verifying and resetting the VTP configuration revision number."

The wording is tricky in D, and the VTP Switch, not server must have the highest rev else the information can be erased from the server.... So A & D are right.

Correction to my comment above. A-- VTP Domain Name and E--All switches with same VTP version are right. The D choice referencing VTP server is the trick and wrong.

Do you have a source to back that up because the Cisco documentation diagrees, it says that the VTP versions don't have to be the same and yes a VTP server is on a switch but it's called a VTP server by Cisco themselves.

After reviewing the documentation further, I feel the best two choices are D and E. There are three correct answers but A is third down the list since A is not a must.

A is clear, but I think is also more E than D

VTPv3 is compatible backwards with VTPv2, son E is not correct. Then, if you want that the switches work each other, VTP domain name must be the same. Finally, if you have a new swithc in the VTP domain with a higher revision number, it won't use the configuration provided by the VTP server

A Correct - The VTP domain name has to be the same on both switches. Cisco switches participating in VTP are organized into management domains, or areas with similar VLAN requirements. All switches in a VTP domain must have the same Domain Name E Correct - VTP versions have to match between the switches1. Three VTP versions are available – V1, V2, and V33. D - Tricky but it's the other way around for me. Whichever VTP device has the highest Rev No is the VTP 'Server' In a VTP domain, the switch with the highest VTP configuration revision number determines the VLAN configuration for that domain. This means that if a switch (be it a VTP server or client) with a higher revision number is introduced to the network, its VTP information will overwrite the existing VTP information in the domain. This is true regardless of whether the switch with the higher revision number is a VTP client or server. My question to Copilot 'in vtp does the vtp server have to have the highest revision number in the domain?'

The correct statements about VTP (VLAN Trunking Protocol) are: A. All switches must be configured with the same VTP domain name. - This statement is true. For VTP to work properly, all switches within a domain must have the same VTP domain name. E. All switches must use the same VTP version. - This statement is also true. In order to ensure compatibility and proper operation, all switches within a VTP domain should use the same version of VTP. So, the correct answers are A and E.

A & E are more correct. the client can have higher revision than server if i decieded to make configuration with.

A . You dont have to configure the VTP domain on every switches

It's correct AD A. All switches must be configured with the same VTP domain name. D. The VTP server must have the highest revision number in the domain.

"All VTP Server switch(es) must have the same configuration revision number and it must also be the highest in the domain." "All switches in a VTP domain must run the same VTP version." https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/lan-switching/vtp/98154-conf-vlan.html Note: A is not true; you can have multiple VTP domains. This leaves D and E as the only plausible options.

All switches have the same VTP domain name. All VTP Server switch(es) must have the same configuration revision number and it must also be the highest in the domain. E is incorrect, all switches (in a VTP domain) must run the same VTP version. https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/lan-switching/vtp/98154-conf-vlan.html?dtid=osscdc000283

after research, i think A & E are more correct

VTP Domain Name: For switches to share VLAN information via VTP, they must be in the same VTP domain. This means that all switches that need to exchange VLAN information must be configured with the same VTP domain name. VTP Version: To ensure compatibility and proper operation, all switches within a VTP domain must be using the same version of VTP. Different versions of VTP (e.g., VTPv1, VTPv2, VTPv3) are not compatible with each other.

Switches don’t have to have the same vtp version but the switch with the highest version is the server

Gpt says they should. But if a switch with a higher version number is introduced, then it will override the version of the all other switches in the vtp. So i was wrong again. Answer is A and E

VTP topic still in 200-301? I'm skipping this one.
