What are the ports connecting the switches and are they all trunks?

Hi GS!

I have a funny thing with VTP:

This is my topology:

PC1---SW1--------------SW2---------------SW3---PC2

     (VTP server) (VTP Trans) (VTP Client)

This is my configuration on SW1,SW2,SW3: (all cat 2950)

SW1(config)# vtp mode server

SW1(config)# vtp domain CISCO

SW1(config)# vlan 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10

SW1(config)# int f0/24

SW1(config-if)# sw mo ac

SW1(config-if)# sw ac vlan 10

 

SW2(config)# vtp mode transparent

SW2(config)# vtp domain CISCO

 

SW3(config)# vtp mode client

SW3(config)# vtp domain CISCO

SW1(config)# int f0/24

SW1(config-if)# sw mo ac

SW1(config-if)# sw ac vlan 10

 

PC1 connected to SW1 f0/24

PC2 connected to SW3 f0/24

 

This is result:

- SW3 have all VLAN learned from SW1, VLAN 1 to 10

- SW2 have only VLAN 1 (default vlan)

- Then pc1 CAN NOT ping pc2

- I use command: #show mac-address-table on SW3 -> no MAC entry of
pc1 and pc2

But if we create vlan 10 on SW2:

SW2(config)# vlan 10

Then pc1 CAN ping pc2 and #show mac-address-table on SW3 -> we can see MAC
entry of pc1 and pc2

 

So is this a bug of IOS?

I try on cat 3550 with ipservice 12.2(25)SEE2 -> still se this error!

If this is not error of IOS, so what's purpose of TRANSPARENT switch (SW3)??

 

Thanks!
