AFAIK, main difference between v1 & v2 is token ring support.
Transparent should enable VTP to pass through, as it does according to
your lab.

Typo here ? You say "router port on SW2" and draw SW4.
If it is in SW2, prunned at SW4 will have no effect.
Also, prunning stops broadcast only, so if you ping from the prunned
side, you will lift the bann, so to say .
