                SW3
                  /
                 /
                /
SW1------SW2
                  \
                   \
                    \
                  SW4

I have tried to configure the above setup using the following senario.

SW1 is VTP Server
SW2,SW3,SW4 are VTP Clients
All are in same VTP domain
SW1 --- SW2 is trunk link (Port Channel)
SW2 --- SW3 is trunk link
sw2 --- SW4 is trunk link

Then i have created some vlans in SW1 but those vlans came to SW2 but
not came to SW3 and SW4.

So i have created some other VLANs in SW1 and increase the
configuration revision number and observe the other switches , SW2 got
the new vlans but still SW3 & SW4 are not getting any vlans.

then
i have tried to shutdown the SW2 - SW3 , SW3 - SW4 trunk links and
used no shutdown to refresh the trunk but no use.

so finally i have made trunklinks temporarly from SW1 to SW3 and SW1
to SW4 . after that all vlans are delivered to SW3 and SW4 then i
removed the temporarly trunk links and saved the configuration and
restarted all the switches.

Now the vlans are there in SW3 and SW4 eventhough it is not working properly..

So i am expecting your Advise ,if i face an issue like this in my real
lab , what i want to do to troubleshoot.

Anbu.
