I appreciate the input. Yes, this lab was puzzling because I've performed it many times and this was the first time I saw changing the switch to vtp transparent loose OSPF connectivity (not senting multicast messages correctly).
The bigger question becomes, "Does vtp pruning work in vtp transparent mode when the vtp status shows Enabled?" Vol 1, task 3.3 has Cat3-Cat4 configured in vtp transparent mode, with vtp pruning enabled. I assume 3.3's intention is for the vtp transparent switch to prune. From the Cisco work-around and Vol 1, lab 2; vtp pruning should be disabled and the transparent switch should not prune even though it shows Enabled in vtp status. If vtp status shows the same result, how would one know if a vtp transparent switch is pruning or not in the ProctorLab environment? show interface trunk - On Tue, Jun 5, 2012 at 5:26 PM, Marko Milivojevic <[email protected]> wrote: > On Tue, Jun 5, 2012 at 1:27 PM, marc abel <[email protected]> wrote: >> I wasn't suggesting it caused the initial error, I believe she determined >> that was a bug.
