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).
What else can I help you with?
What are the VTP modes?
VTP server mode and VTP transparent mode.
What will happen if VTP server is accidentally configured as VTP client?
The VTP domain cannot be modified.
What do you need to do to setup a VTP domain?
BY using the VTP domain on cisco switch to pass the VLan informetion and any changes that will be happen in vtp server the client switch will get the same informetion from its VTp server switch..
What are two of the requirements for vtp to function correctly?
For VLAN Trunking Protocol (VTP) to function correctly, all switches in the VTP domain must be configured with the same VTP domain name. Additionally, at least one switch must be set to VTP server mode to create and propagate VLAN information, while other switches can be configured as clients or transparent modes. Proper trunking must also be established on the links connecting the switches to facilitate the transmission of VTP advertisements.
Which vtp mode processes vtp messages and saves vlan information in nvram?
server mode Answer by: sean_zhank
Which two conditions would require a VTP client to send a request advertisement to a VTP server?
The switch has been reset. The VTP domain name has been changed.
Which events will cause the VTP revision number on a VTP server to change?
Adding, modifying, or removing a VLAN from the VTP server will cause the revision number to change. Another possible way is if a Client gets a higher revision number than the server. If this happens the server will take take the revision number and the VLAN information from the client and advertise the information to everyone in the VTP domain.
In which three modes does VTP operate?
The answer is tranparent, server, and client.

What is the default vtp mode on a catalyst switch?
TransparentTransparent 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.
What is a VTP cable?
VTP is Vertical Trading Point
What is the purpose of VTP 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.
