What is the purpose of VTP in a network?

The purpose of VTP (VLAN Trunking Protocol) in a network is to simplify the management and configuration of VLANs (Virtual Local Area Networks). It allows for the automatic propagation of VLAN information across switches in a network, reducing the need for manual configuration on each individual switch. VTP ensures consistency and synchronization of VLAN configurations, making it easier to add, delete, or modify VLANs across multiple switches simultaneously.
