Configuring the IP Address of the VMPS Server
To configure a Catalyst 4500 series switch as a VMPS client, you must enter the IP address or hostname
of the switch acting as the VMPS.
To define the primary and secondary VMPS on a Catalyst 4500 series switch, perform this task:
Command
Step 1
Switch# configure terminal
Step 2
Switch(config)# vmps server
{ ipaddress | hostname } primary
Step 3
Switch(config)# vmps server
{ ipaddress | hostname }
Step 4
Switch(config)# end
Step 5
Switch# show vmps
This example shows how to define the primary and secondary VMPS devices:
Switch# configure terminal
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
Switch(config)# vmps server 172.20.128.179 primary
Switch(config)# vmps server 172.20.128.178
Switch(config)# end
You can configure up to four VMPS servers using this CLI on the VMPS client.
