VTP Modes Definition: VTP (VLAN Trunking Protocol) modes refer to the three operating modes available for configuration: transparent, server, and client, which determine how VLAN information is managed and propagated in a network infrastructure.
VTP (VLAN Trunking Protocol) Modes are three operational modes in which a VTP-enabled switch can function: server, client, and transparent. In server mode, a switch can create, modify, and delete VLANs and share this information with other switches. A switch in client mode can receive and store VTP information but cannot make changes to VLAN configurations. Transparent mode allows a switch to forward VTP advertisements but does not synchronize VLAN information.
