Hi All,

I have seen this question in some ccna practice questions and the answers being given were different. I'd like to know which is correct since both seem correct to me:

Q. For a switch with a VTP mode of 'client', what is the VTP function of this switch?

A. Learn and save VTP configuration in the running configuration

B. Forwards information about VTP configuration.

Thanks.
 
The closest answer is A.

When a switch is configured to use VTP Client Mode, it is simply the recipient of any VLANs added, deleted, or modified by a switch in Server Mode within the same management domain. A switch in VTP client mode cannot make any changes to VLAN information. In Client Mode, a switch will accept and store in its RAM all VLAN information received from the VTP Server however this information is also saved in NVRAM. So if the switch is powered off, it won't loose its VLAN information.

Answer B seems to describe Transparent Mode operation.
