D、Client
E、User

答案B

解析 Explanation:
VTP Modes:
If you intend 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. Each of these roles is outlined below:

Server Mode: Once VTP is configured on a Cisco switch, the default mode used is Server Mode. In any given VTP management domain, at least one switch must be in Server Mode. When in Server Mode, a switch can be used to add, delete, and modify VLANs, and this information will be passed to all other switches in the VTP management domain.

Client Mode: When a switch is configured to use VTP Client Mode, it is simply the recipient of any VLANs added, deleted, or modified by a switch in Server Mode within the same management domain. A switch in VTP client mode cannot make any changes to VLAN information.

Transparent Mode: A switch in VTP Transparent Mode will pass VTP updates received by switches in Server Mode to other switches in the VTP management domain, but will not actually process the contents of these messages. When individual VLANs are added, deleted, or modified on a switch running in transparent mode, the changes are local to that particular switch only, and are not passed to other switches in the VTP management domain.

Based on the roles of each VTP mode, the use of each should be more or less obvious. For example, if you had 15 Cisco switches on your network, you could configure each of them to be in the same VTP management domain.

Although each could theoretically be left in the default Server Mode, it would probably be easier to leave only one switch in this configuration, and then configure all remaining switches for VTP Client Mode. Then, when you need to add, delete, or modify a VLAN, that change can be carried out on the VTP Server Mode switch and passed to all Client Mode switches automatically. In cases where you need a switch to act in a relatively standalone manner, or do not want it to propagate information about its configured VLANs, use Transparent Mode.

Incorrect Answers:
A. A switch in VTP Transparent Mode will pass VTP updates received by switches in Server Mode to other switches in the VTP management domain, but will not actually process the contents of these messages.

C, E. These are not valid VTP modes.

D. Client mode merely accepts changes made by the switch that is connected and in SERVER mode.
