VTP transparent mode md5 gets changed

Hi,

When configuring sw2 as transparent mode, seeing that md5 is not matched on
the switches and any creation of vlan on sw1 i.e. server is not propagation
vtp updates to sw3 and sw4. If I change sw2 to client, md5 shows correct
on all switches and sw3 and sw4 learn vlan created on sw2 (server). Am I
missing anything?. Please, let me know.
