Hi there, I always thought that only VTP v2 transparent mode switches forward VTP advertisements. This is, for example, suggested in the following link:
http://127.0.0.1:8080/cc/td/doc/product/lan/c3550/1219ea1/3550scg/swvtp.htm#x tocid3 VTP transparent switches do not participate in VTP. A VTP transparent switch does not advertise its VLAN configuration and does not synchronize its VLAN configuration based on received advertisements. However, in VTP version 2, transparent switches do forward VTP advertisements that they receive from other switches from their trunk interfaces. However, also VTP v1 transparent mode switches seem to forward VTP advertisements: Version-Dependent Transparent Mode-In VTP version 1, a VTP transparent switch inspects VTP messages for the domain name and version and forwards a message only if the version and domain name match. Because VTP version 2 supports only one domain, it forwards VTP messages in transparent mode without inspecting the version and domain name. So both versions forward VTP adverts in transparent mode, don't they?
