What is vtp configuration

Question

Accepted Answer

VTP (VLAN Trunking Protocol) is a Cisco proprietary protocol that manages VLAN configurations across a network.

VTP allows for centralized management of VLANs and reduces the need for manual VLAN configuration on each switch.
VTP operates in three modes: server, client, and transparent.
In server mode, a switch can create, modify, and delete VLANs and propagate the changes to other switches in the same VTP domain.
In client mode, a switch can only receive and store VLAN information from a VTP server.
In transparent mode, a switch does not participate in VTP and forwards VTP advertisements to other switches.
VTP version 3 introduced support for enhanced security features such as message authentication and encryption.
