A VTP domain at your organization is made of a VTP server and three VTP clients. You want to add an additional switch to this domain. By default, what is the default mode of the new switch when it joins the domain?
  1. The new switch can exist in a VTP server mode or a VTP Client mode, depending on whether a VTP server already exists on the network.
  2. VTP client mode
  3. The new switch is not placed into any mode by default.
  4. VTP server mode
Explanation
Answer - D - By default, a new switch added to the VTP domain will be in the VTP server mode.

Key Takeaway: VTP provides a facility by which individual Cisco switches can be managed as a group for VLAN configuration purposes. Switches must be configured using three possible VTP modes. If you intend to make a switch part of a VTP management domain, each switch must be configured in one of three possible VTP modes. The VTP mode assigned to a switch will determine how the switch interacts with other VTP switches in the management domain. The three VTP modes that can be assigned to a Cisco switch include server mode, client mode, and transparent mode.
