The VTP mode that ensures that the switch does not “black hole” VTP messaging, but also has the local switch ignore the VTP information is **Transparent** mode.
In Transparent mode, the switch forwards VTP advertisements received from other switches but does not participate in VTP itself. This means it does not update its VLAN database based on VTP messages, thus preventing a situation where the switch would "black hole" the VTP messages, as it still forwards them.
