Which protocol is referred to as VTP?

VLAN Trunking Protocol
Virtual Transfer Protocol
Variable Token Protocol
VLAN Transport Protocol

The correct answer is: VLAN Trunking Protocol

VLAN Trunking Protocol, or VTP, is a networking protocol used in switched networks primarily for the management and maintenance of VLANs (Virtual Local Area Networks). Its primary function is to propagate VLAN information across a switched network, ensuring that all switches in the VTP domain have a consistent view of VLAN configuration. This allows for simplified VLAN administration and helps to reduce configuration errors by allowing centralized management. By effectively communicating VLAN configurations to all switches, VTP helps maintain a coherent VLAN topology across the network, making it easier to configure and manage large networks. The ability to easily manage VLANs is crucial in modern network architectures where scalability and flexibility are essential.
