You have been assigned the task of connecting a new switch to an existing switch. You want to set up the VLAN Trunking Protocol to enable VLAN information passing between the switches. Which of the following should you do to accomplish this?
  1. Set each end of the trunk line to IEEE 802.1e encapsulation.
  2. Set all ports on the two switches as access ports.
  3. Configure one of the switches as a VTP server.
  4. Connect the switches using a rollover cable.
Explanation
Answer - C - To be able to connect two switches and setup VTP, you must configure one of the switches as a VTP server.

Key Takeaway: VLAN Trunking Protocol is a Cisco proprietary Layer-2 messaging protocol that manages the addition, deletion, and renaming of Virtual Local Area Networks, or VLAN. 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.
