Which two benefits can be obtained by using VTP in a switching environment? (Choose two.)

A.
Allowing frames from multiple VLANs to use a single interface.

B.
Allowing switches to read frame tags.

C.
Maintaining VLAN consistency across a switched network.

D.
Allowing VLAN information to be automatically propagated throughout the switching

E.

employing mixed-media technologies.
VTP provides the following benefits:
