Entering The Ip Address Of The Vmps; Configuring Dynamic-Access Ports On Vmps Clients - Cisco IE 3000 Software Configuration Manual

Configuring VMPS

Entering the IP Address of the VMPS

You must first enter the IP address of the server to configure the switch as a client.
If the VMPS is being defined for a cluster of switches, enter the address on the command switch.
Note
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
You must have IP connectivity to the VMPS for dynamic-access ports to work. You can test for IP
Note
connectivity by pinging the IP address of the VMPS and verifying that you get a response.

Configuring Dynamic-Access Ports on VMPS Clients

If you are configuring a port on a cluster member switch as a dynamic-access port, first use the
rcommand privileged EXEC command to log in to the cluster member switch.
Dynamic-access port VLAN membership is for end stations or hubs connected to end stations.
Caution
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
Step 4 switchport access vlan dynamic
Step 5
