What is Cisco VTP?
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.
Is CCNA a VTP?
This topic is not included in the latest version of the CCNA exam (200-301). If you are studying for the exam feel free to skip this article. VTP (VLAN Trunking Protocol) is a Cisco proprietary protocol used by Cisco switches to exchange VLAN information.
What is Spanning Tree HP?
VRRP is configured on the HP 8200zl switches in the core. Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) is a link management protocol that provides path redundancy while preventing undesirable loops in the network. For an ethernet network to function properly, only one active path can exist between two devices.
What is a trunk port HP?
A trunk is a number of ports that are used together to increase bandwidth or increase redundancy in the event of a failure of a port. The HP procurve supports HP trunking and LACP. Then benefit of LACP over standard trunking is it supports standby links that will activate in the event of a port failure.
What is the primary benefit of Cisco VTP?
The primary benefit of VTP is that in large environments it facilitates adding and deleting VLANs, as well as making changes to VLAN configurations.
What is the purpose of VTP CCNA?
VTP is a protocol used to distribute and synchronize identifying information about VLANs configured throughout a switched network. Configurations made to a single VTP server are propagated across trunk links to all connected switches in the network.
What is a 802.1 Q trunk?
VLAN Trunking (802.1Q) allows physical network interfaces in a computing environment to be shared, or multi-homed. Network devices on the network then only interact with packets that have the correct tags. This allows multiple different logical networks to run on the same cable and switch infrastructure.
Can you use Cisco VTP on HP switches?
All switches run same VTP version. have to have a trunk line between switches. VTP allows all VLANs within the same VTP domain to communicate via 1 trunk line instead of having to have multiple trunk lines for multiple VLANs on swtich. VTP is Cisco proprietary, hence will not work on HP switches.
What’s the difference between VTP version 2 and 3?
It’s been around for a while but until recent IOS versions, it wasn’t supported on Cisco Catalyst Switches. VTP version 3 is the third version of the VLAN trunk protocol and enhances its initial functions well beyond the handling of VLAN matters. VTP v3 interoperates with VTP version 2 but not VTP version 1.
How does VTP reduce administration in a switched network?
VLAN Trunk Protocol (VTP) reduces administration in a switched network. When you configure a new VLAN on one VTP server, the VLAN is distributed through all switches in the domain. This reduces the need to configure the same VLAN everywhere. VTP is a Cisco-proprietary protocol that is available on most of the Cisco Catalyst series products.
What are two key tasks of Cisco VTP version 3?
Two key tasks are – modification of the VLAN configuration and the MST (Multiple Spanning Tree) environments which require the consistent modification of a group of devices. Cisco Systems offers a unique and proven tool to optimise such tasks; VTP version 3 eases and secures the administration and the deployment in the field.
