Changing The Reconfirmation Interval; Changing The Retry Count - Cisco Catalyst 2975 Software Configuration Manual

Chapter 13 Configuring VLANs

Changing the Reconfirmation Interval

VMPS clients periodically reconfirm the VLAN membership information received from the VMPS.You
can set the number of minutes after which reconfirmation occurs.
If you are configuring a member switch in a cluster, this parameter must be equal to or greater than the
reconfirmation setting on the command switch. You must also first use the rcommand privileged EXEC
command to log in to the member switch.
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to change the reconfirmation interval:
Command
Step 1
configure terminal
Step 2
vmps reconfirm minutes
Step 3 end
Step 4 show vmps
Step 5 copy running-config startup-config
To return the switch to its default setting, use the no vmps reconfirm global configuration command.

Changing the Retry Count

Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to change the number of times that the switch
attempts to contact the VMPS before querying the next server:
Command
Step 1
configure terminal
Step 2 vmps retry count
Step 3 end
Step 4
show vmps
Step 5
copy running-config startup-config
To return the switch to its default setting, use the no vmps retry global configuration command.
