Question

The network administrator wants to configure a switch to pass VLAN update information to other switches in the domain but not update its own local VLAN database. Which two steps should the administrator perform to achieve this?

Answer 1

To achieve this, the network administrator should configure the switch to act as a VTP transparent switch and disable dynamic VLAN learning.

Step-by-step explanation:

To pass VLAN update information to other switches in the domain but not update its own local VLAN database, the network administrator should perform the following:

1. Configure the switch to act as a VTP (VLAN Trunking Protocol) transparent switch. This can be done by issuing the command vtp mode transparent on the switch.
2. Disable dynamic VLAN learning on the switch. This ensures that the switch will not update its own local VLAN database. The command to disable dynamic VLAN learning is no vlan database.

By performing these two steps, the network administrator can ensure that the switch passes VLAN update information to other switches in the domain while keeping its own local VLAN database unchanged.
