VTP Client

[hs08]

Hello,

Will VTP client work if between the client and the server there are switch with transparant mode?

It's supposed to.

But make sure Transparent Switch  you need to create VLAN manually to work as expected (since its not replicate VLAN from VTP Server).

EDIT : - I mean if any of the VLAN you want to use in Transparent switch, if this only to Build VTP Server and Client relation that should work with out change anything.

it work I test it in lab 
SW1(clinet)-SW2(transparent)-SW3(server)
I add VLAN in server and client learn these VLAN without any issue 
NOTE:- I config trunk between these SW and allow all vlan

Hello @hs08 

If you have a VTP server and VTP clients connected through switches in transparent mode, the clients will still receive the VLAN information from the server, and the transparent mode switches will not interfere with this process. They will simply pass along the VTP advertisements without participating in the VTP domain updates themselves.
