Transparent
Transparent is a bit iffy..? By default, a Catalyst switch is in the no-management-domain state until it receives an advertisement for a domain over a trunk link or until you configure a management domain. However, the default mode is Server mode.

STP stands for Spanning Tree Protocol, which is used to prevent loops in a network by blocking redundant paths. VTP stands for VLAN Trunking Protocol, which is used to manage VLAN configurations across a network by automatically synchronizing VLAN information. Both protocols help in optimizing network performance and ensuring network reliability.

revision number pruning 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).
It is configured in VTP server mode. STP is automatically enabled. All switch ports are assigned to VLAN1.
Select the correct VTP mode and version. Configure the switch with the name of the new management domain. Verify that the switch has a lower configuration revision number than the other switches in the new domain.

VTP server mode and VTP transparent mode.
A switch running in VTP Transparent mode will not participate in VLAN synchronization. With VTP version 2, it will forward VLAN traffic out its trunk interfaces.
