Reconfirming Vlan Memberships; Changing The Reconfirmation Interval; Changing The Retry Count - Cisco Catalyst 2950 Software Manual

Chapter 8 Configuring VLANs

Reconfirming VLAN Memberships

Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to confirm the dynamic port VLAN membership
assignments that the switch has received from the VMPS:
Command
Step 1
vmps reconfirm
Step 2
show vmps

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 also must first use the privileged EXEC rcommand
command to log into the member s. For more information about this command, refer to the
Catalyst 2950 Desktop Switch Command Reference.
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

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 exit
Step 4 show vmps
