Configuring Vmps Clients - Cisco WS-C2950SX-48-SI Configuration Manual

Configuring VMPS

Configuring VMPS Clients

When you configure a VMPS client, you must configure VMPS on the VMPS client before setting
dynamic ports.
You cannot make trunk ports or secure ports a dynamic port. If you attempt to make a trunk port a
dynamic port, VMPS disables trunking on the port to make it a dynamic port.
To configure VMPS client switches, perform this task in privileged mode:
Task
Step 1 Specify the IP address for the primary VMPS server. set vmps server ip_addr [primary]
Step 2
(Optional) Specify the IP address for the backup
VMPS server(s).
Step 3
Verify the VMPS server specification.
Step 4 Configure ports on the switch to dynamic mode.
Step 5 Verify the dynamic port assignments.
This example shows how to specify the primary VMPS server and two backup VMPS servers, and verify
the VMPS server specification:
Console> (enable) set vmps server 192.0.0.1 primary
192.0.0.1 added to VMPS table as primary domain server.
Console> (enable) set vmps server 192.0.0.6
192.0.0.6 added to VMPS table as backup domain server.
Console> (enable) set vmps server 192.0.0.9
192.0.0.9 added to VMPS table as backup domain server.
Console> (enable) show vmps server

This example shows how to set ports 1 to 3 on module 3 to dynamic mode, disable trunking port 1 on
module 2 to make it a dynamic port, and verify the port configuration:
Console> (enable) set port membership 3/1-3 dynamic
Ports 3/1-3 vlan assignment set to dynamic.
Console> (enable) set port membership 2/1 dynamic
Spantree port fast start option enabled for ports 2/1.
Trunk mode set to off for ports 2/1.
