Re: VTP transparent mode md5 gets changed

Hi Aaron,

VTP transparent on sw1. I agree that it will not learn vlans but it needs
to pass them on to clients correct?. In this case, I should see the vlan on
sw3 and sw4 both are clients assuming that I have already added vlan
instance on sw2 which is the server?. So, my doubt is about why there is
not vlan learned on sw3 and sw4?.

Thanks,

KArthik.
