Usage Guidelines
The first server entered is automatically selected as the primary server whether or not primary is entered. The
first server address can be overridden by using primary in a subsequent command.
If a member device in a cluster configuration does not have an IP address, the cluster does not use the VMPS
server configured for that member device. Instead, the cluster uses the VMPS server on the command device,
and the command device proxies the VMPS requests. The VMPS server treats the cluster as a single device
and uses the IP address of the command device to respond to requests.
When using the no form without specifying the IP address, all configured servers are deleted. If you delete
all servers when dynamic access ports are present, the device cannot forward packets from new sources on
these ports because it cannot query the VMPS.
Examples This example shows how to configure the server with IP address 191.10.49.20 as the primary VMPS server.
The servers with IP addresses 191.10.49.21 and 191.10.49.22 are configured as secondary servers:
Device(config)# vmps server 191.10.49.20 primary
Device(config)# vmps server 191.10.49.21
