What is the VTP modes in computer networking


Hellow friend today we will learn about the VTP modes we will learn what is this in networking.

Each switch can use one of three different VTP Modes:

1(VTP client mode) - a switch using this mode can not change its VLAN configuration. That means that a VTP client switch can not create or delete VLANs. Received VTP updates are processed and forwarded.

2(VTP sever mode) - a switch using this mode can create and delete VLANs. A VTP server switch will propagate VLAN changes. This is the default mode for cisco switches.

3 (VTP transparent mode) - a switch using this mode does not share its VLAN database but it forwards received VTP advertisements. You can create and delete VLANs on a VTP transparent switch but the changes are not sent to other switches.

NOTE - you can not completely disable VTP on Cisco switches.
So friend this is all about the VTP in computer network.
