The purpose of VTP is to propagate VLAN information from one switch to
another. (From Cisco site: VTP is a Layer 2 messaging protocol that
maintains VLAN configuration consistency by managing the addition, deletion,
and renaming of VLANs within a VTP domain.)

For example, you create VLAN10 on Switch A, Switch B will automatically
learn the existence of VLAN10 from Switch A.

But if I prefer to keep both on server mode working on the domain, when
I want to create/remove/modify a vlan, Do I have to do that on both
servers or just over the first one and the other learn abouth the change
from the first one?
