To place a device in VTP transparent mode, use the vtp transparent command. To return to VTP server
mode, use the no form of this command.

Syntax Description This command has no arguments or keywords.
Defaults Disabl ed
Command Modes VLAN configurati on mode
Usage Guidelines The vtp transparent command disables VTP from the domain but does not remove the domain from the
switch.
If the receiving switch is in transparent mode, the configuration is not changed. The switches in
transparent mode do not participate in VTP. If you make VTP or VLAN configuration changes on a
switch in transparent mode, the changes are not propagated to the other switches in the network.
The vtp server command is similar to the no vtp transparent command, except that it does not return
an error if the device is not in transparent mode.
Examples This example shows how to place the device in VTP transparent mode:
Switch(vlan-config)# vtp transparent
Switch(vlan-config)#
This example shows how to return the device to VTP server mode:
Switch(vlan-config)# no vtp transparent
Switch(vlan-config)#
