VTP Question

in CCNA & CCENT
I'm messing around with VTP and seemed to run into something not covered in the books. It's probably beyond CCNA but it bugs me now.
Alright I have 2 switch separated by 2 routers. The 2 routers are connected via serial. I set up all the Vlans, ports, ips, etc on one switch. Then, I set the port going to the router as trunk. And so on, setting up the sub interfaces, etc.
What I want to do is run VTP so it will update the switch on the other side of both routers. If I connect the 2 switches together it works perfectly. I've tried copying the sub interfaces and the like onto the other router but no go.
How do you get VTP info to transverse a serial link and 2 routers?
Thanks.
Config for router 1/2:
interface FastEthernet0/0.1
encapsulation dot1Q 10
ip address 172.0.16.1 255.255.255.0
!
interface FastEthernet0/0.2
encapsulation dot1Q 20
ip address 172.0.17.1 255.255.255.0
!
interface FastEthernet0/0.3
encapsulation dot1Q 30
ip address 172.0.18.1 255.255.255.0
Switch 1:
interface FastEthernet0/1
switchport mode trunk
!
interface FastEthernet0/2
switchport access vlan 30
!
interface FastEthernet0/3
switchport access vlan 20
!
interface FastEthernet0/4
switchport access vlan 10
Now I did a no shut on Vlan 1 on both switches and set IP address for them in the same subnet.

Well I answered my question. VTP will not traverse layer devices. But I can't delete the post so... Anyways wish me luck on my test tomorrow.Courses Completed at WGU: JIT2, LYT2, TFT2, SJT2, BFC2, TGT2, FXT2

Uuhhmm, if you are testing tomorrow, make sure you know why VTP won't traverse the routers. Otherwise good luck. -

Good luck!No longer work in IT. Play around with stuff sometimes still and fix stuff for friends and relatives. -

I passed! 920 out of 1000. There was a lot of question that were like "wth". Labsim, CBT, Sybex, none of them went over a few of the things. A sim tripped me up but got through it. Now onto Security.Courses Completed at WGU: JIT2, LYT2, TFT2, SJT2, BFC2, TGT2, FXT2
