Configuring VMPS
The switch cannot be a VMPS server but can act as a client to the VMPS and communicate with it
through the VLAN Query Protocol (VQP). VMPS dynamically assigns dynamic access port VLAN
membership. This section includes this information about configuring VMPS:

Purpose
Enter global configuration mode on Switch A.
Enter interface configuration mode, and define Fast Ethernet port 0/1as
the interface to be configured as a trunk.
Configure the port as a trunk port.
Return to global configuration mode.
Repeat Steps 2 through 4 on Switch A interface Fast Ethernet 0/2.
Return to privileged EXEC mode.
Verify your entries.
In the display, make sure that interfaces Fast Ethernet 0/1 and Fast
Ethernet 0/2 are configured as trunk ports.
When the trunk links come up, Switch A receives the VTP information
from the other switches. Verify that Switch A has learned the VLAN
configuration.
Enter global configuration mode.
Enter interface configuration mode, and define Fast Ethernet port 0/1 as
the interface to set the STP cost.
Set the spanning-tree path cost to 30 for VLANs 2 through 4.
Return to global configuration mode.
Repeat Steps 9 through 11 on Switch A interface Fast Ethernet 0/2, and
set the spanning-tree path cost to 30 for VLANs 8, 9, and 10.
Return to privileged EXEC mode.
Verify your entries.
In the display, verify that the path costs are set correctly for interfaces
Fast Ethernet 0/1 and 0/2.
(Optional) Save your entries in the configuration file.
