transparent is used to &quot;IGNORE&quot; VTP advertisements coming
over<br>&gt;trunk links. As previously discussed, there is NO way to
completely turn<br>&gt;off VTP advertisements unless you filter the MAC
address 01-00-0c-cc-cc-cc.<br>&gt;Be careful with that too! Since CDP, DTP,
etc. also uses this well known<br>&gt;MAC address, you need to know what
Protocol Cisco is using in the SNAP<br>&gt;header this particular
type.<br>&gt;<br>&gt;VTP packets are sent in either ISL frames or in dot1q
frames. These packets<br>&gt;are sent to the destination MAC address
01-00-0C-CC-CC-CC with a Logical<br>&gt;Link Control (LLC) code of
Subnetwork Access Protocol (SNAP) (AAAA) and a<br>&gt;type of 2003 (in the
SNAP header). This is the format of a VTP packet<br>&gt;encapsulated in ISL
frames:<br>&gt;<br>&gt;From:<br>&gt;http://www.cisco.com/en/US/tech/tk389/tk689/technologies_tech_note09186a0080>&gt;094c52.shtml<br>&gt;<br>&gt;<br>&gt;Sincerely,<br>&gt;Dennis

All<br>&gt;<br>&gt;Is VTP v1 and transparent mode really required to prevent
VTP packets from<br>&gt;leaving certain ports? I've always just set the
ports to switchport mode<br>&gt;access since VTP can only run on trunks. Or
is this only required to stop<br>&gt;the VTP packets over trunks as
well?<br>&gt;<br>&gt;-----Original Message-----<br>&gt;From:

ccielab@groupstudy.com<br>&gt;Subject: RE: VTP Question<br>&gt;<br>&gt;This
is not enough. All lab scenarios for training have trunk ports
(either<br>&gt;two trunks or one ether-channel) and therefore VTP packets
will be sent out<br>&gt;and recieved on some ports.<br>&gt;<br>&gt;The
solution is to set VTP mode to transparent and version 1. (V2 VTP
switch<br>&gt;transparently forwards VTP packets, while V1
doesn't)<br>&gt;<br>&gt; &gt;Noble,<br>&gt; &gt;<br>&gt; &gt;I would deduce
from this question that it wants to change each port to<br>&gt;
&gt;&quot;switchport Access&quot; mode so that VTP frames are not sent out,
by<br>&gt; &gt;default all ports will be dynamic.<br>&gt; &gt;<br>&gt;

Question<br>&gt; &gt;<br>&gt; &gt;Hello Group,<br>&gt; &gt;<br>&gt; &gt;Can
anybody help me to understand the following question correctly?<br>&gt;
&gt;<br>&gt; &gt;&quot;Restrict the VTP Traffic from reaching all the 24
fast Ethernet ports<br>&gt; &gt;of the switch&quot;. Is this question
talking about VTP Pruning? I<br>&gt; &gt;understand that the VTP pruning is
related to Trunks where as here the<br>&gt; &gt;switch ports are in Access
Mode.<br>&gt; &gt;<br>&gt; &gt;Thanks,<br>&gt; &gt;<br>&gt;
