Configuring the VMPS Client

You configure dynamic VLANs by using the VMPS (VLAN Membership Policy Server). The switch can be a VMPS client;
it cannot be a VMPS server.

Entering the IP Address of the VMPS

Before You Begin

You must first enter the IP address of the server to configure the switch as a client.

You must have IP connectivity to the VMPS for dynamic-access ports to work. You can test for IP connectivity by
pinging the IP address of the VMPS and verifying that you get a response.

If the VMPS is being defined for a cluster of switches, enter the address on the command switch.
Command
1. configure terminal
2. vmps server ipaddress primary
3. vmps server ipaddress
4. vmps reconfirm
5. vmps retry count
6. end
Purpose
Verifies your entries. In the display, make sure that the interfaces are
configured as trunk ports.
When the trunk links come up, Switch A receives the VTP information
from the other switches. Verifies that Switch A has learned the VLAN
configuration.
Enters global configuration mode.
Defines the interface on which to set the STP cost, and enters interface
configuration mode.
Sets the spanning-tree path cost to 30 for VLANs 2 through 4.
Returns to global configuration mode.
Returns to privileged EXEC mode.
Verifies your entries. In the display, verify that the path costs are set
correctly for both trunk interfaces.
Purpose
Enters global configuration mode.
Enters the IP address of the switch acting as the primary VMPS server.
(Optional) Enters the IP address of the switch acting as a secondary VMPS
server.
You can enter up to three secondary server addresses.
(Optional) Reconfirms dynamic-access port VLAN membership.
(Optional) Changes the retry count.
Returns to privileged EXEC mode.
