What are two characteristics of a switch that is configured as a VTP client? (Choose two.)
The correct answer is C. The local VLAN configuration is updated only when an update that has a higher configuration revision number is received. F. When switches in VTP client mode are rebooted, they send a VTP advertisement request to the VTP servers.. In VTP client mode, a switch cannot create, delete, or rename VLANs locally (B is false) - those operations must come from a VTP server. VTP server is the default mode, not client (E is false). VTP transparent mode switches forward VTP advertisements without processing them, so D

- CThe local VLAN configuration is updated only when an update that has a higher configuration revision number is received.
- DVTP advertisements are not forwarded to neighboring switches that are configured in VTP transparent mode.
- EVTP client is the default VTP mode.
- FWhen switches in VTP client mode are rebooted, they send a VTP advertisement request to the VTP servers.

Explanation
In VTP client mode, a switch cannot create, delete, or rename VLANs locally (B is false) - those operations must come from a VTP server. VTP server is the default mode, not client (E is false). VTP transparent mode switches forward VTP advertisements without processing them, so D is false. A VTP client updates its local VLAN database only when it receives an advertisement with a higher configuration revision number than its own (C is true). When a VTP client reboots, it sends a VTP advertisement request to solicit updated VLAN information from VTP servers (F is true).
