Which command is used to verify the status of VTP?

The command used to verify the status of VTP (VLAN Trunking Protocol) is "show vtp status." This command provides detailed information about the VTP management domain, including the VTP mode (server, client, transparent), the configuration revision number, the maximum VLANs supported, and the number of VLANs configured. This information is crucial for understanding how your switch participates in VTP and helps ensure proper VLAN configuration and management throughout the network.

Using "show vtp status" allows network administrators to quickly assess whether VTP is functioning correctly on a switch and how it interacts with other switches in the same VTP domain. This command is particularly important in environments where VLANs are dynamically propagated across multiple switches, as it provides insights into the current operational state of the VTP process and can help in troubleshooting VLAN related issues.

Other options, such as "show vlan database," focus on the VLAN details stored in the switch but do not provide specific information about VTP status. Similarly, "show vtp config" might give configuration details but lacks the concise overview of the operational status that "show vtp status" provides. The option "display vtp information" is not a valid command in Cisco’s IOS. Thus,
