VTP pruning should only be enabled on VTP servers, all the clients in the VTP domain will automatically enable VTP pruning. D is correct, since SW1 is the VTP server

D is correct VTP pruning helps to prevent unnecessary VLAN traffic from being sent over trunk links to switches that do not have access ports in those VLANs. Since all access ports on SW3 are configured for VLAN 50, enabling VTP pruning on VTP server (SW1) will prevent VLAN 60 traffic from being sent to SW3.

the vtp server is switch1 and that is where the pruning needs applying to

Another question I hate Cisco for. C and D are both valid options. It depends. To really answer that question we would need more information. Knowing Cisco they probably want us to got with D, because Cisco likes enterprise business.....

as described in provided link..... "VTP pruning should only be enabled on VTP servers, all the clients in the VTP domain will automatically enable VTP pruning. By default, VLANs 2 – 1001 are pruning eligible, but VLAN 1 can’t be pruned because it’s an administrative VLAN. Both VTP versions 1 and 2 support pruning."

If you prune vlan on SW1, than vlan 60 traffic will not propagate to SW2 either , so D is definitely wrong. Correct answer is C.

What? That's not how pruning works. VLAN 60 will be propagated to SW2, if SW2 has access ports in VLAN 60.

Doesn't pruning only suppress traffic where it's not needed? The only reason SW3 won't get VLAN 60 traffic is because it doesn't need it. If SW2 has ports in VLAN 60, it will receive the VLAN 60 frames, even with pruning applied everywhere.

Vlan pruning can happen on switch 2 as well, the main reason to apply then to pruning in this case and this is the best practice. Applying the pruning at the source rather than wait for the vlan traffic travel to the sw2 then pruning it there. The same concept apply to access-list.

According to the reference link, shouldn't it pruned on SW2 connecting SW3?

only SW1 is VTP server, and since prune vtp is configured only on vtp server mode, then SW1 is correct.

Any documentation on that? I have some doubts here because you can configure pruning on vtp clients as well..
