Hi guys, I have a question regarding this specific part of task 2.2:
The task is Cat1 should send VLAN updates with an MD5 one-way hash value. Other switches should not be able to process these updates unless they have the same MD5 value. My question is in regards to the solution, where we are told to use VTP Version 2 to require this matching of hash values. It was my understanding the both V1 and V2 use consistency checks, and furthermore V1 checks more values than V2. Further more my understanding was the if V2 is used and the Hash's match the VTPv2 will forward it (on that criteria alone), thus reducing the overhead incumbent in VTPv1. Reading the question initially seems to imply (based on the solution) that VTPv1 would not check the hash, where VTPv2 would. Just asking for clarifications sake.
