What is the behavior of VTP transparents regarding synchronization with a VTP server with a higher revision number?

• A. Will
• B. Won't
• C. May or may not
• D. Only in version 3

Answer: (B)

In the context of VLAN Trunking Protocol (VTP), a switch operating in transparent mode does not participate in VTP domain synchronization. This means that when a VTP server with a higher revision number sends out VTP advertisements, the transparent switch will not synchronize its VLAN database with the server’s VLAN information. Instead, it will continue to maintain its own VLAN database independently and allow VLAN configurations to be managed locally. Transparent mode is typically used to allow switches to route and propagate VTP advertisements while still managing their own VLAN information independently. As a result, even if a VTP server with a higher revision number is present in the network, switches in transparent mode will not adopt this information, preserving their existing configuration. This helps to prevent unintended changes to VLAN configurations when integrating devices that should not be influenced by the VTP domain. Other options refer to behaviors that do not accurately describe how VTP transparent mode works. For example, a switch in this mode will never synchronize with other VTP devices regardless of their revision numbers or VTP versions.
