VLAN Trunking Protocol

VLAN Trunking Protocol (VTP) is a networking feature that helps manage multiple virtual LANs (VLANs) across interconnected switches. It simplifies network configuration by allowing switches to share VLAN information automatically, ensuring consistent VLAN settings throughout the network. This reduces manual setup errors and makes managing large or complex networks more efficient. By using VTP, administrators can add, delete, or modify VLANs from a central switch, and those changes propagate to other switches in the same network domain, maintaining synchronization and simplifying overall network management.
