Summary

VTP is a Cisco proprietary protocol used to exchangeVLAN information across trunk links.

A switch can be in one of 3 VTP operating modes

Client

Cannot create, modify or delete VLAN

Server

Can create, modify & delete VLAN

Transparent

Can create, modify, & delete LOCAL VLAN

Forwards VTP advertisements.
