Default VMPS and Dynamic Port Configuration (continued)
You must configure VMPS before you configure the ports as dynamic.
When you configure a port as dynamic, spanning-tree PortFast is enabled automatically for that port.
Automatic enabling of spanning-tree PortFast prevents the applications on the host from timing out
and entering loops that are caused by incorrect configurations. You can disable spanning-tree
PortFast mode on a dynamic port.
If you reconfigure a port from a static port to a dynamic port on the same VLAN, the port connects
immediately to that VLAN. However, VMPS checks the legality of the specific host on the dynamic
port after a certain period.
The static secure ports cannot become dynamic ports. You must turn off security on the static secure
port before it can become dynamic.
The static ports that are trunking cannot become dynamic ports. You must turn off trunking on the
trunk port before changing it from static to dynamic.
