Changing The Retry Count; Monitoring The Vmps - Cisco WS-C3020 Software Configuration Manual

Configuring 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
end
Step 4 show vmps
Step 5 copy running-config startup-config
To return the switch to its default setting, use the no vmps retry global configuration command.

Monitoring the VMPS

You can display information about the VMPS by using the show vmps privileged EXEC command. The
switch displays this information about the VMPS:

Purpose
Enter global configuration mode.
Change the retry count. The retry range is 1 to 10; the default is 3.
Return to privileged EXEC mode.
Verify your entry in the Server Retry Count field of the display.
(Optional) Save your entries in the configuration file.
VMPS VQP Version—the version of VQP used to communicate with the VMPS. The switch queries
the VMPS that is using VQP Version 1.
Reconfirm Interval—the number of minutes the switch waits before reconfirming the
VLAN-to-MAC-address assignments.
Server Retry Count—the number of times VQP resends a query to the VMPS. If no response is
received after this many tries, the switch starts to query the secondary VMPS.
VMPS domain server—the IP address of the configured VLAN membership policy servers. The
switch sends queries to the one marked current. The one marked primary is the primary server.
VMPS Action—the result of the most recent reconfirmation attempt. A reconfirmation attempt can
occur automatically when the reconfirmation interval expires, or you can force it by entering the
vmps reconfirm privileged EXEC command or its SNMP equivalent.
