Q1:Which one will act asa server ?

All the switches by default act as server. However, switch a higher revision number will propagate the VLANs to other switches in the same VTP domain(Show vtp status)

Q2:what is the use of transparent mode in production any use for this ?

If the switch is in tranparent mode the configuration revision number resets to 0 and it does not participate in VTP and it doesn't stop any VLAN propagation from server to other switches.

Q3:Suppose if i want add new switch in same production  what is the procedure ?

Change the VTP mode to transparent(Which resets the revision number to 0) and connect it to the existing network then change it to client so that it receives the VLAN database from the server.

Q4where is all VLAN information and formate of storage?

The vlans will be stored in vlan.dat(vlan database) and will be normall seen under flash

Hope it helps. Do not forget to rate if it really helped.

By configuring non-default priorities, an administrator can define which router shall become active and which one standby independant from the other IP parameters.

If the HSRP priorities are the same on both routers, the (physical) IP-address acts as the tie-breaker: The router with the higher IP-address will become active.
