which of the following will be true?

You are the Cisco administrator for NationalAct Incorporated. One of your assistants is preparing to introduce a
new switch to the network. Before doing so, you execute the show vtp status command on OldSwitch and
NewSwitch, respectively, and receive the following output:

If NewSwitch is introduced to the network, which of the following will be true?

A.
NewSwitch will delete its current VTP data.

B.
There will be 10 VLANs in the network.

C.
OldSwitch will retain its current VTP data.

D.
There will be 24 VLANs in the network.

Explanation:
If NewSwitch is introduced to the network, there will be 10 VLANs. The VLAN database of the new switch will
overwrite the VLAN databases of the production switches because it is operating in server mode and has a
higher VLAN configuration revision number.
VLAN Trunking Protocol (VTP) is used to synchronize VLANs between different switches. The VTP
configuration revision number is used to determine which VTP switch has the most current version of the VLAN
database, and is incremented whenever a VLAN change is made on a VTP server switch. The Configuration
Revision: 125 output indicates that NewSwitch has a configuration revision number of 125, which will be
compared to other switches in the same VTP domain, including OldSwitch, which has a revision number of 62.
If the production switches have lower configuration revision numbers than the new switch, their VLAN
databases will be replaced with the VLAN database of the new switch. Any switch ports that had been assigned
to be removed from VLANs in the configuration database of the new switch will be disabled, possibly resulting
in catastrophic network failure. All VTP switches in the same VTP domain should have a domain password
defined, which will protect against a rogue switch being added to the network and causing VLAN database
corruption.
NewSwitch will not delete its current VTP data. If the production switches have lower configuration revision
numbers than the new switch, their VLAN databases will be replaced with the VLAN database of the new
switch.The number of VLANs will not remain 24. The 24 VLANs indicated by the Number of existing VLANs: 24 output
will be overwritten with the 10 VLANs in the NewSwitch VLAN database.
OldSwitch will not retain its current VTP data. It will be replaced with the VLAN database of the new switch.
