Hello Abey
VTP updates are sent out trunk ports regardless of which VLANs are configured on the switches themselves. It doesn’t matter what VLANs are configured on them. So if you have two switches, one VTP server and one VTP client that are not directly connected that have the same VTP domain, version and password, in order for them to sync up their VLAN information, the intermediate switch(es) must either be transparent OR have the same VTP config. VTP is not affected by the initial VLAN configuration of the switches, either intermediate or not, either transparent or not.
If you’re not using VTP, then you have to manually create all the VLANs that all the switches will use to communication in each switch on the network.
I hope this has been helpful!
