For VLAN Trunking Protocol (VTP) to function correctly, all switches in the VTP domain must be configured with the same VTP domain name. Additionally, at least one switch must be set to VTP server mode to create and propagate VLAN information, while other switches can be configured as clients or transparent modes. Proper trunking must also be established on the links connecting the switches to facilitate the transmission of VTP advertisements.

The switch has been reset. The VTP domain name has been changed.
VTP server mode and VTP transparent mode.
A switch running in VTP Transparent mode will not participate in VLAN synchronization. With VTP version 2, it will forward VLAN traffic out its trunk interfaces.
The VTP domain cannot be modified.
unable to add VLANS can forward VLAN information to other swithces in the same VTP domain
VTP is Vertical Trading Point
VTP transparent mode allows a switch to forward VTP advertisements but does not participate in the VTP domain. This mode is useful when you want to maintain VLAN information locally without affecting the rest of the VTP domain.
BY using the VTP domain on cisco switch to pass the VLan informetion and any changes that will be happen in vtp server the client switch will get the same informetion from its VTp server switch..
