Explanation:

"Each switch participating in VTP advertises VLAN information, revision numbers, and VLAN parameters on its trunk ports to notify other switches in the management domain. VTP advertisements are sent as multicast frames. The switch intercepts frames sent to the VTP multicast address and processes them with its supervisory processor VTP frames are forwarded out trunk links as a special case.
The following global configuration information is distributed in VTP advertisements:

1. VLAN IDs (ISL and 802.1Q)
2. Emulated LAN names (for ATM LANE)
3. 802.10 SAID values (FDDI)
4. VTP domain name
5. VTP configuration revision number
