CISCO CCNA 200-301 Q57

Which of the following statements are NOT part of the guidelines for configuring VLAN Trunking Protocol (VTP) to ensure that VLAN information is distributed to all Cisco switches in the network?.

A. The VTP version must be the same on all switches in a VTP domain.
B. The configuration revision number must be configured identically on all switches in a VTP domain.
C. The VTP password must be the same on all switches in a VTP domain.
D. The VTP domain name must be the same on all switches in a VTP domain.
E. VLANs configured on clients should exist on the server switch.
F. The switch(s) that will share VLAN information is(are) operating in VTP server mode
G. The switches must be configured to use the same method of VLAN tagging
H. The switches must be connected with trunk links

Correct Answer: B, E

Explanation:
For all switches in a VTP domain, the VTP version, VTP password, and VTP domain name must be the same. Moreover, switches that will share VLAN information must be operating in VTP server mode, must be using the same VLAN tagging method (either 802.1q or ISL), and must be connected with trunk links.

Many of these settings can be verified by using the show vtp status command. By viewing the output of the command on two switches that are not sharing information, inconsistencies that prevent the sharing of VLAN information can be identified.
