Re: VTP Server and Transparent

The CCIE Lab is about networking and not wording semantics. If you
covered all of the VLANs in the network at the end of your lab, you're
fine unless they say something along the lines of "all possible vlans",
"any future vlans", etc. If they score you wrong for not reading too
much into the question then it's not a certification worth having.

There is almost this exact same question in the Cisco Live R&S CCIE
presentation.

1.3.
Spanning-tree Protocol
Configure Spanning-tree protocol on SW1 and SW2 as per the following
requirements:
- Configure SW1 and SW2 so that SW1 is the root for all even* VLANs, and
SW2 is the
root for all odd* VLANs.
- SW1 and SW2 should also serve as backup root switches for their
respective VLANs.
- Ensure that both switches are running one STP instance per VLAN

NOTE:
- Your solution must affect only the VLANs used in this topology.
- Odd numbers are not divisible by 2, for example: 1, 3, 5, 7, and so on.
- Even numbers are divisible by 2, for example: 2, 4, 6, 8, and so on.
SOLUTION

SW1
spanning-tree vlan 1,55,237 root secondary
spanning-tree vlan 10,44,50,60 root primary
