What does a client mode switch in a VTP management domain do when it receives a summary advertisement with a revision number higher than its current revision number?

  • It suspends forwarding until a subset advertisement update arrives.
  • It issues an advertisement request for new VLAN information.
  • It increments the revision number and forwards it to other switches.
  • It deletes the VLANs not included in the summary advertisement.
  • It issues summary advertisements to advise other switches of status changes.

Explanation: If its own configuration revision number is higher or equal to the received configuration revision number, the packet is ignored. If its own configuration revision number is lower, an advertisement request is sent, asking for the subset advertisement message.
