What is VTP?

VLAN Trunking Protocol (VTP) is a Cisco proprietary protocol that propagates VLAN information across a network. VTP allows a network administrator to configure VLANs on one switch, which then distributes this VLAN configuration information to other switches in the same VTP domain. This reduces the need to configure the same VLAN information on multiple switches. It helps manage VLAN configurations, maintains VLAN consistency across the network, and minimizes the risk of configuration inconsistencies.
