VTP server mode and VTP transparent mode.
Transparent mode

VTP transparent mode allows a switch to forward VTP advertisements but does not participate in the VTP domain. This mode is useful when you want to maintain VLAN information locally without affecting the rest of the VTP domain.
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).
The VTP domain cannot be modified.
