VTP

I had asked a similar question pertaining to a scenario but did not get
a response so I am going to generalize the question .

I have 4 switches SW1 (S)-SW2(S)-SW3(T)-SW4(S). All switches are
trunked and belong in the same VTP domain.

SW1, SW2, SW4 are Server

SW3 is a Transparent switch.

SW1(S)---Trunk-----SW2(S)----Trunk ------SW3(T)-------Trunk----SW4(S)

Now say to start off all switches have VLAN's 1 thru 10. The switches
are running VTP version 1. And VTP pruning is enabled.

1. Now say I build a new VLAN on SW1. Will that VLAN be
propagated to Switch SW4.?

My Answer :When I lab this up it did get propagated and this confused me
as I was under the impression that Version 1 VTP on a transparent switch
will not propagate the VLAN only VTP version 2 would.

2. Say I have a Router A connected to Access port VLAN 10 on SW3
and a routed port on SW2 . Should Router A be able to ping Router B &
vice versa thru the transparent switch?

RA-(VLAN10)------SW3----------Trunk----------------SW4(Vlan10)----------
----Routed port(SW2)

I can although when I do a show int trunk on SW4 I show VLAN 10 to be
pruned.

Thanks
