InterviewQuestionsand
What is VTP Pruning ?
VLAN Trunking Protocol (VTP) pruning is a feature in Cisco switches, which stops VLAN update information

AnswersPdf3$

trac from being sent down trunk links if the updates are not needed. Broadcast frames, multicast frames
or unicast frames for which the destination MAC address is unknown are forwarded over a trunk link only
if the switch on the receiving end of the trunk link has ports in the source VLAN. This avoids unnecessary
ooding. VLAN 1 can never prune because its an administrative VLAN.
