If a Cisco switch is configured with VTPv1 in transparent mode, what is done with received VTP advertisements?
A.
They are discarded
B.
The contents are altered to reflect the switch’s own VTP database and then they are forward out all trunking ports
C.
The changes within the advertisements are made to the switch’s VTP database.
D.
The contents are ignored and they are forwarded out all trunking ports.
Neverending Myth 🙁
Transparent—VTP transparent switches do not participate in VTP. A VTP transparent switch does not advertise its VLAN configuration and does not synchronize its VLAN configuration based on received advertisements, but transparent switches do forward VTP advertisements that they receive out their trunk ports in VTP Version 2.

Based on that:
If the received advertisements is version 1 it will be forwarded on trunk ports (D).
If the received advertisements is version 2 it will not be recognized and as such – discarded (A).
Now tell me the right answer.
