Hi buddy, We are using VTP in Transparent mode. So it is literally turning off VTP. It is not all about VTP password. Customer wants to check a particular switch when connected to the network should be a legitimate switch and it should be checked against a database to authenticate whether it is a legitimate switch or a rogue switch.
Thats what i am looking for some authentication with respect to STP.
