(a) VTP allows multiple VLANs to use a single trunk link.

(b) VTP constantly updates VLAN changes to all switches in the same VTP domain.
(c) VTP creates domain so that all device connected to switches in the same VTP domain can communicate with each other.
(d) VTP assigns switch ports to different VLANs.

(b) Examine the version number
(c) Examine the revision number
(d) Examine the configuration register value
