Explanation
The three recommended VTP practices are: (A) Set the switch to transparent mode - this is a best practice for access and distribution switches because a VTP transparent switch does not participate in VTP domain synchronization, preventing accidental VLAN database overwrites if a rogue switch is introduced; (D) Disable VLAN pruning - unless explicitly required, pruning should be disabled to avoid unintended traffic filtering; and (E) Specify a domain name - configuring an explicit VTP domain name ensures only intended switches participate in the VTP domain and prevents a new switch with a higher revision number from wiping out the VLAN database. Server mode (B) on every switch is risky. Enabling pruning (C) is not a blanket best practice. Clearing the domain name (F) would break VTP operation.
