I was hoping someone could make sure I've got some defaults straight for 2950/2960 switches with the latest IOS.
2950.
-will trunk out of the box with another 2950 or 2960 because the ports are set to dynamic desirable
-Will come up as a VTP server and update VLAN info on other 2950 switches that also have no domain name. Will assume domain name of first vtp message it receives from another switch.
2960
-Out of box will not trunk to another new OOB 2960 because ports are set to dynamic auto.
-OOB comes up as a VTP server but will not update other switches or take updates until a domain name is set manually.
THANKS!

I can't speak of the 2960s because I haven't touched one... I think the most important part of your studies for this one is to understand the difference between dynamic auto, dynamic desirable, and DTP messages. I don't think I'm violating the NDA on this one... Cisco will not ask specifically about a switch platform because they know their technologies vary by platform! The same applies to the VTP... just be sure you understand the differences between VTP version 1 & 2. HTH...
