Transparent mode does not allow the switch to participate in VTP negotiations. Thus, a switch does not
advertise its own VLAN configuration, and a switch does not synchronize its VLAN database with received
advertisements. VLANs can still be created, deleted, and renamed on the transparent switch. However, they
will not be advertised to other neighboring switches. VTP advertisements received by a transparent switch
will be forwarded on to other switches on trunk links.
