Re: VTP transparent mode md5 gets changed

I believe MD5 needs to match on client on server ..A mismatch in MD5 says
issue with your domain name and/or password (check for space, CCIE and
CCIE'space' does not work, same with password)..and mismatched MD5 on
client will never add vlans to its database from server eventhough your SW2
advertises to SW3 or SW4..
