Alrighty, VTP modes. Sounds familiar. Okay, we have several modes, we know what they are server client transparent and now we have off. You probably had off for a long time, but they just didn't want to let us know. In the CCNA they kept it a secret. Okay.

Server mode. By default, I said it already by default all switches are in server mode. What does that mean? That means that the has full control the VLAN creation modification for their domains and all VTP information is advertised on their switches. Okay, meaning with server is where you can create VLANs delete VLANs name rename VLANs you have the power, okay server, but client mode you can do Alright, b2b grandmas do not allow the administrator to create change or delete any VLANs clients listen to VTP advertisements from other switches and modify their VLAN configurations or coordinate. This is why Remember I told you earlier my little example the triangle, I create my VLANs on my server switch, and then trunk and then do my domain.

And then from now switch the bottom ones to VTP mode client that comes down. And then because his clients, listen, Oh, I love this change. Okay, I'm just going to change everything in here, okay. And they can pass on information as well. They will pass on information, but you can't create anything to the VLAN database. You can do anything to the VLAN database and a client mode you have to actually go there and switch it.

Recommendation is one server switch the rest of them client switches, client switches. Okay. So that's your other mode client. Then you have transparent and I've always called as the greedy one. It really isn't. Now that I know, off.

Alright, transparent mode, it does everything locally, right? It creates its own VLAN database. It's just like server I can create, assign, rename all that good stuff, but it won't accept anybody else's mainland advertisements to change its VLAN database won't do that. They'll change his local VLAN database, but it'll get the advertisement and pass it along. F is in version two. Yeah, that's new.

In version two, then transparent mode will pass on it will be like a relay like it says there will be like a really take the informations there on okay. Off mode. Okay. Now that's my new ingredient one. That guy doesn't participate in it. Anything that deals with VTP it can create its logo VLANs, change them, rename them, delete them, do whatever you want locally.

Excuse me, but it will not. If it sees any advertisements, it just ignores it. So I don't see. Okay, and they won't pass it on. They just won't pass it on. It doesn't care.

It does not participate. Well. It will VTP mode off VTP mode, off mode to Wow, that was to disable all VTP activity on on or through your switch. So there is no VDP going on. If you're an off. The only I mean, we should say that this will be a remote site, we'll have you this is really a remote site.

They got you somewhere on friggin Yellowstone Park or something in the middle of the woods. And that's where you're working. You're not participating anything. you're by yourself. That's it. You don't need to worry about BGP or Okay, so that's what off mode is.

So know that these are the different modes. Mainly we use we use server because that's the default for everyone. And then clients for the rest. And that's important as we go along because I want to say and I said it already about the revision number, but you got to be very careful. You already know now that VTP has different versions. Okay, as different versions.

So if it's in version two, the transparent mode, then old, really, any advertising, they're coming across version one, it won't do that. So that's something new that we just learned. Okay, there before we didn't win. There you go. Okay. Those are the different modes just to run more real quick, transparent.

What else? client? Why don't we start with the top server? I get confused. Server client transparent and all those four you need to remember Okay, see you the next
