Operating Mode VTP operating mode:
• Server—Allows VLAN creation, modification, and deletion, and
specification of other configuration parameters for the entire VTP
domain. Server is the default mode.
• Client—Same behavior as VTP server, except VLANs cannot be
created, changed, or deleted.
• Transparent—The device does not participate in the VTP. The
device does not advertise its VLAN configuration and does not
synchronize its VLAN configuration based on received
advertisements.
However, the device forwards received VTP advertisements out of
their trunk ports in VTP Version 2.
• Off—The device does not participate in VTP and does not forward
VTP advertisements.
Process Status Status of the VTP process: Running or Disabled.
Authentication Enabled Whether or not VTP authentication is enabled: True or False.

VTP messages. VTP Version 3 introduces an additional mechanism to
authenticate the primary VTP server as the only device allowed to
change the VLAN configuration on a network-wide basis.
Configuration Revision 32-bit number that indicates the level of revision for a VTP packet.
Each VTP device tracks the VTP configuration revision number that is
assigned to it. Most VTP packets contain the VTP configuration revision
number of the sender.
