-\rfig{vtp/implementing-vtp}{VTP}\cite{vtpchap4}

+\subsubsection{VTP Modes}
+The tree modes a VTP \textit{enabled} device can operate are
+\begin{itemize}
+    \item Transparent
+    \item Server
+    \item Client
+\end{itemize}
+Of course you can \textit{disable} VTP altogether.
+
+Key things to be aware of \textit{before} enabling VTP in your environment is to make double sure of only having 1 VTP domain. \textbf{If} 2 or more VTP domains exists. Be triple sure to separate them! As to avoid having an VTP server DB overridden with data from another VTP domain.
+
+The three VTP modes \textit{operates} as follow
+\begin{itemize}
+    \item Transparent
+    \begin{itemize}
+        \item Creates, modifies and deletes \textit{local} vlans only
+        \item Forwards advertisements
+        \item Does \textit{not} synchronizes vlan configurations.
+    \end{itemize}
+    \item Server
+    \begin{itemize}
+        \item Creates, modifies and deletes vlans
+        \item Sends and forwards advertisements
+        \item Synchronizes vlan configurations
+    \end{itemize}
+    \begin{itemize}
+        \item Cannot create, modify or delete vlans
+        \item Send and forwards advertisements
+        \item Synchronizes vlan configurations
+    \end{itemize}
+\end{itemize}
+
+\subsubsection{VTP Announcement}
+VTP operates with announcements sent out in intervals. Summarized it amounts to
+\begin{itemize}
+    \item 1 \textit{summary} announcement per 5th minute from the server
+    \item The summary announcement informs clients of the current revision
+    \item An announcement is sent out \textit{on the spot} when a change has been made on the VTP server
+\end{itemize}
+
+Do remember it is \textbf{only} the VTP server which has the vlan configuration stored \textbf{on disk}. All device clients and transparent nodes do only store the vlans delegated by VTP in memory.
+
+\subsubsection{Common Issues}
+\begin{itemize}
+    \item Different/Incompatible VTP versions
+    \item Wrong password
+    \item Incorrect mode name
+    \item No server set (all devices configured in transparent/client/vtp disabled mode)
+\end{itemize}
+
+\subsubsection{VTP Versions}
+\begin{itemize}
+    \item Version 1
+    \item Version 2
+    \begin{itemize}
+        \item Version-dependent	transparent	mode
+        \item Consistencycheck
+        \item Token ring support
+        \item Unrecognized type-length-value support
+    \end{itemize}
+    \item Version 3 (not "yet" common)
+    \begin{itemize}
+        \item Extended VLAN support: Allow ranges are 1-1005,1018-2095. Not mentioned vlans ranges up to 4095 is still reserved.
+        \item Domain name is not automatically learned.
+        \item Better security.
+        \item Better database propagation.
+        \item MST now supported.
+    \end{itemize}
+\end{itemize}
+
+\subsubsection{VTP Pruning}
+The art of only allowing the vlan traffic to flow on \textit{necessary} links.
+
+This means if there are no clients in a vlan on a device. Then no traffic for the inactive vlans is send down-/upstream on the link in question.
+\fig{vtp/vtp-pruning}{vtpruning1}{VTP Pruning}
+
+\subsubsection{Security}
+It is \textbf{strongly} recommended to enable the security features supported in VTP.
+
+\textbf{Password:} MD5 hashing, Case-sensitive, Length between 8 and 64 chars.
+
