Transparent—VTP transparent switches do not participate in VTP. A VTP transparent switch does not advertise its VLAN configuration and does not synchronize its VLAN configuration based on received advertisements, but transparent switches do forward VTP advertisements that they receive out their trunk ports in VTP Version 2.
I'm even more confused after reading page 190 of the CCNA Official Cert Guide (Volume1)
Paragraph #2
"This book does not discuss VTP as an end to itself for a few different reasons. First, the current
CCNA 200-301 exam blueprint ignores VTP, as do the CCNP Enterprise Core and CCNP
Enterprise Advanced Routing blueprints. Additionally, many enterprises choose to disable VTP"
Found an excellent explanation of all 3 modes here: https://www.firewall.cx/networking-topics/vlan-networks/virtual-trunk-protocol/223-vtp-introduction.html
That's literally what the topics are for. To know what is going to be on the test if the topics don't reflect the test then why bother posting the topics at all and the sky is the limit to what they want to test you on.
Transparent—VTP transparent network devices do not participate in VTP. A VTP transparent network device does not advertise its VLAN configuration and does not synchronize its VLAN configuration based on received advertisements. However, in VTP version 2, transparent network devices do forward VTP advertisements that they receive on their trunking LAN interfaces.
what does being in transparent mode have to do with either acting as server or client, I thought it just received the updates and forwarded them without changing its local database
