43. A network administrator is implementing VTP in a large campus LAN that contains one hundred switches. What are valid
considerations for reliability and administration?
Using server mode on a single master switch and client mode on all other switches will provide the most fault tolerance for
retaining VLAN information in all switches if power is lost on the network.
Using transparent mode on all switches will allow for efficient administration and prevent VLAN data loss from the loss of any
single switch.
Configuring several switches in server mode will allow all VLANs to be entered from a single switch and preserve VLAN data if
any of the switches or connections are lost.

tolerance for the VLAN data and allow for efficient distribution of the VLAN configurations to all switches
