Vlan name is different in VTP transparent mode

[Rupesh Kashyap]

Hi, I have sw-A and B connected with trunk mode. My question is can vlan 2 members on Sw-A can communicate with Sw-b hosts having vlan membership vlan-2.

ATT- Description of vlan 2 is different on both switches, but vlan ID is same

Sw-A->> VTP mode tranparent

              vlan 2, name SALE

              vlan 3, name MKT

Sw-B->> VTP mode tranparent

              vlan 2, name SALE-SPC

              vlan 3, name MKT

Yes as long as the trunk allows vlan 2 across it. The name is just a reference tag but it is the vlan number that is important.
