Configuring Dynamic Ports On Vmps Clients; Reconfirming Vlan Memberships - Cisco WS-C2955T-12 Software Manual

How the VMPS Works

Configuring Dynamic Ports on VMPS Clients

If you are configuring a port on a member switch as a dynamic port, first log into the member switch by
using the privileged EXEC rcommand command. For more information on how to use this command,
refer to the switch command reference.
Caution Dynamic port VLAN membership is for end stations. Connecting dynamic ports to other switches can
cause a loss of connectivity.
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to configure a dynamic port on the VMPS client
switches:
Command
Step 1
configure terminal
Step 2 interface interface
Step 3 switchport mode access
Step 4
switchport access vlan dynamic
Step 5
end
Step 6 show interface interface switchport
The switch port that is connected to the VMPS server should be configured as a trunk. For more
information, see the

Reconfirming VLAN Memberships

assignments that the switch has received from the VMPS:
Command
