VTP stands for VLAN Trunking Protocol. It is a Cisco's proprietary layer 2 messaging protocol that switches use to exchange VLAN configuration information. When a VLAN is added, changed, or deleted, VTP advertises information to all the switches in domain to update their VLAN configuration. It reduces the administrative burden on switched network.
