Q

What are the 3 requirements for VTP to communicate VLAN information?

A
  1. The VTP management domain of both switches must be the same.

Q

What do switches in transparent mode do?

A

They don’t participate in the VTP domain, or share its database, but they do forward any VTP advertisements through any configured trunk links.

Q

On a switch, what is Flood Guard?
