Summary
VTP is a Cisco proprietary protocol used to exchange VLAN information across trunk links.
A switch can be in one of 3 VTP operating modes
Client
Cannot create, modify or delete VLAN
Server
Can create, modify & delete VLAN
Transparent
Can create, modify, & delete LOCAL VLAN
Forwards VTP advertisements.
Summary
VTP pruning
Limits unnecessary dissemination of VLAN information.
