Re: VTP transparent mode md5 gets changed

Yes, right. Even though cisco says "Message Digest 5 (MD5) carries the
VTP password, if MD5 is configured and used to authenticate the
validation of a VTP update.", it covers not only the password but
the whole vtp database.
So given that sw2 and sw3/4 don't have the same version, it's ok for
them to differ.

Please share what the problem was. It's nice to post answers to problems
you encounter, for the sake of sharing info with the community.
