Hi,
 Here is the topology. Please let me know. I tried reload and enabled
debugs but didn't help. Missing anything here?.
 sw1 (f0/13-15) -- trunk - sw2(f0/13-15)
sw1 (f0/16-18) -- trunk - sw3 (f0/13-15)
sw1 (f0/19-21) -- trunk - sw4 (f13-15)
 sw2 is server
sw3 and sw4 are clients
sw1 made vtp mode transparent
 1. create vlan X on sw2
2. it should go to sw1 (transparent) not learn but fwd them to sw3 and sw4
 Issue:
sw3 and sw4 are not learning vlan X.
 Trunks are formed. Domain name is matched. Enabled debugs but clients are
not updating vtp database from server.
 Outputs:
 sw2 server
