In very simple language. Cisco switches can be configured in VTP Server, transparent or client mode. VTP server is the default mode in most everyday switches. The switch must be in server mode in order to create,add, delete VLAN's in the same domain.
If I am using more than one switch, the one with the lowest MAC address is the one I would use to be my STP. The other switch would be in CLIENT mode (my preference).
