vtp mode transparent and DTP negotiation

[jerome.royer]

I don't have any equipment at home to make the following test :

- Assuming that 2 catalysts are connected through a GigatbitEthernet interfaces

- Assuming that both interfaces are configured with "sw mode dynamic desirable" and no other command.

- Assuming that vtp domain name is the same

- Assuming that both catalysts are configured with "vtp mode transparent"

Question: Would those Catalyst able to negotiate the trunking mode ?

(with "vtp mode server" or "client" it would work, but with "vtp mode transparent"...)

Thanks for your help

Bonjour,

the trunk would be formed regardless of the VTP mode or the VTP domain name. DTP packets are sent when the port is configured as 'dynamic desirable', and the trunk will be established.
