Which statement about VIP is true?
The correct answer is A. There is a misconfiguration ; only one device running device running in server mode per domain. The question (likely about VTP, mislabeled as VIP) tests knowledge of VTP domain server mode rules - only one device should be in server mode per domain to avoid VLAN configuration conflicts.
Question
Which statement about VIP is true?
Options
- AThere is a misconfiguration ; only one device running device running in server mode per domain
- B5K-2 is configured in server mode
- C7k-3 configuration in client mode
- DConfiguration a VLAN on 5K-1 would not be allowed, since 5k-1 is in client mode
- Econfiguration a VLAN on 5k-2 would be allowed, but the VLAN would not be learned by the other

Why each option
The question (likely about VTP, mislabeled as VIP) tests knowledge of VTP domain server mode rules - only one device should be in server mode per domain to avoid VLAN configuration conflicts.
VTP (VLAN Trunking Protocol) best practice requires only one device in server mode per domain. The exhibit shows multiple devices configured as VTP servers, which is a misconfiguration because any server can add, delete, or modify VLANs and propagate those changes, leading to unpredictable VLAN synchronization across the domain.
Stating that 5K-2 is in server mode is incomplete because it ignores the broader misconfiguration caused by having multiple servers in the same domain.
7K-3 is not shown as being in client mode in the exhibit; this statement is factually incorrect based on the displayed configuration.
While VTP client mode devices cannot create or delete VLANs, this is a consequence of client mode behavior, not the primary misconfiguration issue shown in the exhibit.
VLANs configured on a VTP server are propagated and learned by all other devices in the domain, so the claim that VLANs would not be learned by others is incorrect.
Concept tested: VTP server mode misconfiguration per domain
