What is VTP Modes?

Understanding VTP Modes

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.
