Configuring VMPS

Configuring the VMPS Client

You configure dynamic VLANs by using the VMPS (server). The switch can be a VMPS client; it cannot
be a VMPS server.

Entering the IP Address of the VMPS

You must first enter the IP address of the server to configure the switch as a client.
Note If the VMPS is being defined for a cluster of switches, enter the address on the command switch.
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to enter the IP address of the VMPS:
Command
Step 1
configure terminal
Step 2
vmps server ipaddress primary
Step 3 vmps server ipaddress
Step 4
end
Step 5
show vmps
Step 6 copy running-config startup-config
Note The switch port that is connected to the VMPS server cannot be a dynamic access port. It can be either
a static access port or a trunk port. See the
on page

Configuring Dynamic Access Ports on VMPS Clients

If you are configuring a port on a cluster member switch as a dynamic port, first use the rcommand
privileged EXEC command to log into the member switch.
Caution Dynamic port VLAN membership is for end stations or hubs connected to end stations. Connecting
dynamic access ports to other switches can cause a loss of connectivity.
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to configure a dynamic access port on a VMPS
client switch:
Command
Step 1 configure terminal
Step 2
interface interface-id
Step 3
switchport mode access
