VTP: Stands for VLAN Trunking Protocol. It is used to transfer the VLAN database dynamically one Switch to another Switch. by using the trunking protocol. 

There are three VTP Mode 

(a) Server Mode:- In this mode, all information from the VTP server Switch will be synchronized to the VTP Client Switches. by default, all the Cisco switches will be in the Server mode even when there multiple VTP Server. VTP Server can create VLAN, do modify as well can delete the VLAN

(b) Client Mode:- In this mode only see the VTP status and receives the information from the VPT server if the client VTP wants to create VLAN don't create the VLAN.

(c) Transparent Mode:- In this Mode Switches do not participate in the VTP Domain. can add and create VLANs
