Just curious if anyone has encountered a task that requires you to turn all
the switches to transparent mode. Then it asks you to manually prune all
the links manually to reduce broadcast traffic. It takes a while to draw
out a layer 2 drawing and manually allow the VLANs on the trunks.

Instead of that way, I first had all the switches in server mode and turned
on pruning. Once I let the switches do the work, I manually allowed the
vlans on the trunks that pruning allows. Finally just convert all the
switches back to transparent. Anybody seen any problem with this method?

Thanks,

Dale
