Understanding VTP Transparent

VTP Transparent: VTP Transparent mode is a setting in Cisco networking devices where the switch does not participate in the VLAN Trunking Protocol (VTP) updates but still forwards VTP advertisements to other switches. In Transparent mode, VLAN configurations can be made locally on the switch and are not synchronized with other switches in the network, allowing for more manual control over VLAN management.
