Hi,
You should read your bridging part of your scenario very well to see if
there are any requirements with VTP, like pruning or setting a Vlan Number
lower or equal to 1005
If so then setting the switch to transparent mode would make the above
mentioned bad.
If you set the switch to VTP Transparent, (which is a Cisco Best Practice
for SP, or that what they had told me), you must create the Vlans in both
switches, this ius tru because VTP Advertisements (such as Subset, Requests,
Summary) are not process by the Switch set in Transparent mode, but if VTP
V2 is enabled it would be forwarded to other switches in the same VTP
Domain. One thing to note is that the Conf Number always remains in 0.
Also another part to consider is the Vlan Number used at the switches,
extended VLAN(s) (range 1006 to 4094) are only available in Transparent
mode.
My 2 cents
Victor.-

Asunto: VTP mode Question
Guys,
If CCIE lab or any practice lab doesn't specify vtp mode are we supposed to
leave it or change it to transparent
