Answer choices
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
server: Can create, modify, and delete VLANs; advertises VTP updates; stores VLAN database in NVRAM
VTP server mode can create, modify, and delete VLANs, advertises VTP updates, and stores the VLAN database in NVRAM. Client mode synchronizes from servers and cannot create VLANs. Transparent mode forwards VTP advertisements but does not process them. Off mode disables VTP entirely.
Answer analysis
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
server: Can create, modify, and delete VLANs; advertises VTP updates; stores VLAN database in NVRAM
Why this is correct
Correct. Server mode can create, modify, and delete VLANs and advertises VTP updates.
client: Cannot create VLANs; synchronizes from VTP servers
Why this is correct
Correct. Client mode cannot create VLANs and synchronizes from servers.
transparent: Forwards VTP advertisements but does not process them
Why this is correct
Correct. Transparent mode forwards VTP advertisements but does not participate.
off: Disables VTP; does not forward advertisements
Why this is correct
Correct. Off mode disables VTP and does not forward advertisements.
server: Stores VLAN database in NVRAM
Why it's wrong here
Incorrect. This capability (stores VLAN database in NVRAM) is also true for server mode, but server mode is already correctly matched with P1, so P5 is a duplicate and not needed.
