RE: VTP Question

Hello,

I understand that there is a confusion in my question itself. Let me put it
like " VTP traffic should not be seen on all 24 fast Ethernet ports". Now
how would you suggest..Transparent or Ver 3 or Pruning...

Sorry for changing the question again....

Thanks,

Noble

Roy, Brussels,

I agree the question probably wanted VTP Transparent, however the question
below said to "stop vtp traffic from reaching all 24 ports" VTP Transparent
modes does not do that. In Transparent mode VTP Packets are recieved and
forwarded.

It depends on the question I suppose........... I agree there would be some
sort of trunking between the 2 switches in the lab.

Regards

Lee.

I see brussles has answered the question about transparent mode forwarding
on VTP packets, so I would go with transparent mode.

From the doc CD:

Version-Dependent Transparent ModeIn VTP version 1, a VTP transparent
network device inspects VTP messages for the domain name and version, and
forwards a message only if the version and domain name match.
Because only one domain is supported in the supervisor engine software, VTP
version 2 forwards VTP messages in transparent mode, without checking the
version.

Good to know that about the different versions.
