VTP Switch Roles
A switch can be a VTP:
■ Server—The default VTP role. Servers can create, delete, and rename
VLANs. They originate both periodic and triggered VTP advertisements
and synchronize their databases with other switches in the domain.
■ Client—Clients cannot make VLAN changes. They originate periodic
VTP advertisements and synchronize their databases with other
switches in the domain.
■ Transparent—It can create, delete, and rename VLANs, but its
VLANs are only local. It does not originate advertisements or synchronize
its database with any other switches. It forwards VTP advertisements
out its trunk links, however.
