All right, we made it to the end the summary of this particular section, right? Which was no big surprise to you guys. Ah, what is VTP? reversal? trunking protocol. We said it was a Management Protocol to take care of VLANs watch them as they go across a switch network.
Domain is an area, right? cluster, a grouping of switches in the same domain name. Advertisements is what VTP does, it says, hey, you're in my domain, I'm sending you my VTP my VLAN database information. Alright, so they synchronize with each other based on those advertisements, looking at what the revision number to see if they need to update their own. But again, it all depends on the mode that the switch is in is it in transparent mode, then it won't it is off? It definitely won't.
Right? So normally server or client, so that's what we talked about. We have my little Remember VTP only talks about VTP as well, the version and the mode. Okay, the versions, we can have three by and we saw that in the packet tracer anyway, the default was two, and the mode again, one, two or three, right? You can have it as well, but then depends what VLANs you want to deal with. We did an actual lab, you saw that when I was simple, that's why I'm telling you, it takes two seconds to do what they're saying.
All right, it's not a big deal when doing this show. VTP status though, that's a very good command for troubleshooting to see what's going on. Alright, and obviously, we define VTP pruning as traffic shaping. All right, that's all it really is why we can do on the packet tracer, but that's all you're doing based on a list of VLAN list. Okay, that's what it's called a VLAN list, whether you're adding and removing or not putting any or whatever it is. Okay.
That's it. VTP Alright, no big deal. I'll see you in the next
