What could be a reason why switch SW2 is not synchronizing its VLAN database with switch SW1? (Choose two answers.)

Switch SW2 not synchronizing its VLAN database with switch SW1 can occur for several reasons related to the configuration and operational modes of VTP (VLAN Trunking Protocol).

The reason related to the VTP domain name is significant because for switches to synchronize their VLAN databases, they must be part of the same VTP domain. If SW2 is configured with a VTP domain name that differs from SW1 (for example, SW1 being in the domain "SW1-DOMAIN" and SW2 in "Fred"), SW2 will not participate in VTP updates from SW1. This prevents any VLAN information from being shared or synchronized, thus maintaining two separate VLAN configurations.

Additionally, if SW2 is in VTP transparent mode, it will also not synchronize with SW1. In VTP transparent mode, a switch does not participate in VTP, meaning it won't send updates or receive updates about the VLAN information from other switches. Instead, it only forwards VTP messages through its trunk ports. This stand-alone operation obstructs VLAN synchronization as the switch doesn’t actively participate in the database exchange process.

Examining the other options further contextually, a different STP (Spanning Tree Protocol) priority affects the operation of Layer
