SWITCH Study Notes – VLAN Trunking Protocol (VTP)

By LBSources, on August 5th, 2010%

So I'm sorry to be spamming notes here right now – but I'm just trying to create a footprint and maybe help someone else out down the line. The other thing is this phase of studies is like reading the manual before you get to play with something – hmmm, wait I never read the manual! Well we certainly cant do that with these exams though!
