In some cases, the network manager doesn’t want a switch to learn VTP information from other switches. He can set it to Transparent mode. In this mode, a switch maintains its own VLAN database and never learn VTP information from other switches (even the server). However, it still forwards VTP advertisements from the server to other switches (but doesn’t read that update). A transparent switch can add, delete and modify VLAN database locally.
Now return to the example above, we can configure any switches as the “server” but for our convenience, the “Main Sw” should be assigned this function and we should place it in a safe place.
