A VTP transparent device does not advertise its VLAN configuration and does
not synchronize its VLAN configuration based on received advertisements.
However, VTP-transparent devices do forward received VTP advertisements to
other devices.
I can imagine a situation where a router with VLANs implemented is sitting
in the middle of a Layer 2 topology and you want the router to be in VTP
transparent mode so that it passes VTP advertisements onto switches on the
other side of it. It doesn't seem like a very good design, but it could
happen.
