What is a prerequisite to VTP and should be done before configuring VTP on your switches?
VTP Configuration Requirements When you configure VTP, you must configure a trunk port so that the switch can send and receive VTP advertisements to and from other switches in the domain. In VTP versions 1 and 2, when you configure extended-range VLANs on the switch, the switch must be in VTP transparent mode.
What do you need to do to setup a VTP domain?
To exchange VTP messages, five requirements must be met:
- a switch has to be configured as either a VTP server or VTP client.
- the VTP domain name has to be the same on both switches.
- if present, the VTP domain password has to be the same.
- VTP versions have to match.
- the link between the switches has to be a trunk link.
How many VTP management domains can a Catalyst switch participate in?
15 How many VTP management domains can a Catalyst switch participate in? How many VTP servers can a management domain have? A switch can be a member of only one VTP management domain. A domain must have at least one server.
Which of the following VTP mode allow you to change VLAN information on the switch?
What VTP mode allows you to change VLAN information on the switch? Explanation: Only in server mode can you change VTP information on a switch.
What are the 3 VTP modes?
VTP modes – There are 3 modes:
- Server – The switches are set to this mode by default.
- Client – In this mode, the switches receives the updates and can also forward the updates to other switches(which are in same VTP domain).
- Transparent – This mode only forwards the VTP summary advertisements through trunk link.
What is the function of the wheel and trunking protocol?
VLAN Trunking Protocol (VTP) is a Cisco proprietary protocol that propagates the definition of Virtual Local Area Networks (VLAN) on the whole local area network. To do this, VTP carries VLAN information to all the switches in a VTP domain. VTP advertisements can be sent over 802.1Q, and ISL trunks.
How many steps are in a config switch?
- Step 1: Inspect your hardware. Check the model number of your shiny new switch.
- Step 2: Set up management IP.
- Step 3: Check VTP revision number.
- Step 4: Configure access ports.
- Step 5: Configure trunk ports.
- Step 6: Configure access ports.
- Step 7: Set up VTY line config.
When would you configure VTP on a switch?
When would you configure VTP on a switch? When you have multiple switches with multiple VLANs and you want to share the VLAN database from one switch to all the others.
What is a characteristic of a routed port on a Layer 3 switch?
Answers Explanation & Hints: A routed port on a Layer 3 switch is commonly used for connecting between distribution and core layer switches or between a Layer 3 switch and a router. This port does not get VLAN or trunking commands assigned to it. Instead, the port is programmed with an IP address.
Can a switch be in multiple VTP domains?
VTP has no affect on the forwarding of traffic besides pruning. You can’t create more vpt domain on one device.
What VTP mode allows you to change VLAN information on the switch and converges to the other switches?
Solution(By Examveda Team) Only in server mode can you change VTP information on a switch.
What is tagged VLAN untagged VLAN?
VLAN-enabled ports are generally categorized in one of two ways, tagged or untagged. These may also be referred to as “trunk” or “access” respectively. The purpose of a tagged or “trunked” port is to pass traffic for multiple VLAN’s, whereas an untagged or “access” port accepts traffic for only a single VLAN.
