I guess they are taking about VTP pruning the following is from the CCO
"VTP pruning increases network available bandwidth by restricting flooded
traffic to those trunk links that the traffic must use to reach the
destination devices. Without VTP pruning, a switch floods broadcast,
multicast, and unknown unicast traffic across all trunk links within a VTP
domain even though receiving switches might discard them. VTP pruning is
disabled by default.
VTP pruning blocks unneeded flooded traffic to VLANs on trunk ports that are
included in the pruning-eligible list. Only VLANs included in the
pruning-eligible list can be pruned. By default, VLANs 2 through 1001 are
pruning eligible on Catalyst 3550 trunk ports. If the VLANs are configured
as pruning-ineligible, the flooding continues. VTP pruning is supported with
VTP version 1 and version 2. "

Howdy!
I'm working on a lab that says, "Configure the switch to conserve the
available bandwidth as much as possible."
Any idea what they are talking about?
