What can VTP transparent mode switches do regarding VLANs?

In VTP (VLAN Trunking Protocol) transparent mode, switches have the capability to add, modify, or delete VLANs within their local database. This means that a switch operating in transparent mode does not participate in VTP advertisements that are sent from other switches in the network. However, it can still manage its own VLANs independently.

When a transparent switch adds or modifies a VLAN, those changes are specific to that switch and do not propagate to other switches operating in the VTP domain. This is useful for scenarios where a switch needs to manage its VLAN configurations autonomously without affecting the broader network. Consequently, the ability to add, modify, or delete VLANs makes transparent mode a flexible option for network designs where certain switches need to maintain local configurations while interacting with other switches in different modes.
