Correct answer: All switches must be configured with the same VTP domain name, All switches must use the same VTP version.
Why this is the answer
For VTP to function correctly, all switches participating in the same VTP domain must share the identical VTP domain name. This ensures they recognize each other as part of the same administrative group for VLAN information exchange. Similarly, all switches in the domain must operate using the same VTP version (e.g., VTPv1, VTPv2, or VTPv3). Mixing versions can lead to communication failures and inconsistent VLAN databases. Trunk negotiation is a separate mechanism for establishing trunk links and is not a direct requirement for VTP operation. A unique VTP domain name on each switch would prevent them from sharing VLAN information. While the VTP server typically has the highest revision number after updates, it's not a pre-configuration requirement; rather, it's a dynamic state that occurs as VLAN changes are propagated.
