The Company network administrator needs to enable VTP pruning within the Company
network. What action should a network administrator take to enable VTP pruning on an
entire management domain?
A.
Enable VTP pruning on any switch in the management domain
B.
Enable VTP pruning on any client switch in the domain
C.
Enable VTP pruning on a VTP server in the management domain
D.
Enable VTP pruning on every switch in the domain
E.
None of the other alternatives apply
Explanation:
The default behavior of a switch is to propagate broadcast and unknown packets across the
network. This behavior results in a large amount of unnecessary traffic crossing the network.
VTP pruning increases bandwidth efficiency by reducing unnecessary flooding of traffic,
such as broadcast, multicast, unknown, and flooded unicast packets. VTP pruning increases
available bandwidth by restricting flooded traffic to those trunk links that the traffic must use
to access the appropriate network devices. By default, VTP pruning is disabled.
Enabling VTP pruning on a VTP server enables pruning for the entire management domain.
VTP pruning takes effect several seconds after it is enabled. By default, VLANs 2 through
1000 or 2 through 1001 are pruning eligible, depending upon the platform. VTP pruning does
not prune traffic from VLANs that are pruning ineligible. VLAN 1 is always pruning ineligible
and VLAN 1 cannot be removed from a trunk. However, the “VLAN 1 disable on trunk”
feature available on Catalyst 4000, 5000, and 6000 family switches enables the pruning of
user traffic, but not protocol traffic such as CDP and VTP, for VLAN 1 from a trunk. Use the
vtp pruning command to make VLANs pruning eligible on a Cisco IOS-based switch.
Switch(vlan)#vtp pruning
Once pruning is enabled, use the switchport trunk pruning command to make a specific
VLAN pruning ineligible.
Switch(config)#interface fastethernet 0/3
Switch(config-if)#switchport trunk pruning vlan remove vlan 5
The notes doesn’t really explain why, however this does:

Enabling VTP Pruning
Pruning increases available bandwidth by restricting flooded traffic to those trunk links that the traffic must use to access the destination devices. You can only enable VTP pruning on a switch in VTP server mode.
I think the dumps are very good for the people who do not have much time for their Cisco 300-115 exam preparation. You can easily pass the exam only by memorize the exam questions. Believe or not, I did so and I passed my 300-115 exam:

QUESTION 268
Select a valid VRRP configuration from a list of possible configurations.
A. vrrp [group-number] ip [ip-address]
B. vrrp [group-number] priority [priority]
C. vrrp [group-number] preempt
Answer: ABC
Explanation:
You can eliminate configurations with the word `standby’, as that would be HSRP, not VRRP. Also, I think the options that put things like vrrp group 1 ip x.x.x.x are wrong.
You don’t need the word `group’ in the configuration line. The number 1 is the group number. Anyway, just take a good look a t a few valid VRRP configuration examples so that you will be able to recognize invalid ones.
QUESTION 269

A. community
B. isolated
Answer: AB
QUESTION 270
What types of SDM templates you can use in switch? (Choose four)
A. Access
B. Default
C. Routing
D. VLANs
Answer: ABCD
Explanation:
+ Access – The access template maximizes system resources for access control lists (ACLs) to accommodate a large number of ACLs.
+ Default – The default template gives balance to all functions.
+ Routing – The routing template maximizes system resources for IPv4 unicast routing, typically required for a router or aggregator in the center of a network.
+ VLANs – The VLAN template disables routing and supports the maximum number of unicast MAC addresses. It would typically be selected for a Layer 2 switch.
