In VTP, which mode stores and distributes VLAN information to other switches?

• A. Server mode
• B. Client mode
• C. Transparent mode
• D. Disabled mode

Answer: (A)

VTP uses a server to act as the central source of VLAN information. The switch in server mode can create, modify, and delete VLANs for the VTP domain and stores that VLAN database in non-volatile memory so it persists across reloads. It then distributes these updates to other switches in the domain by sending VTP advertisements. Clients don’t create or delete VLANs themselves; they learn the VLAN list from the server and apply it locally. Transparent mode forwards VTP advertisements but keeps its own local VLANs and doesn’t participate in distributing domain-wide changes, and Disabled mode disables VTP altogether. So the mode that stores and distributes VLAN information to other switches is the server mode.
