A dynamic port might shut down under these circumstances:
•
•
To reenable a shut-down dynamic port, enter the set port enable mod_num/port_num command.

VMPS Database Configuration File Example

This example shows a sample VMPS database configuration file. A VMPS database configuration file
is an ASCII text file that is stored on a TFTP server accessible to the switch configured as the VMPS
server.
!VMPS File Format, version 1.1
! Always begin the configuration file with
! the word "VMPS"
!
!vmps domain <domain-name>
! The VMPS domain must be defined.
!vmps mode {open | secure}
! The default mode is open.
!vmps fallback <vlan-name>
!vmps no-domain-req { allow | deny }
!
! The default value is allow.
vmps domain WBU
vmps mode open
vmps fallback default
vmps no-domain-req deny
!
!
!MAC Addresses
!
vmps-mac-addrs
!
! address <addr> vlan-name <vlan_name>
!
address 0012.2233.4455 vlan-name hardware
address 0000.6509.a080 vlan-name hardware
address aabb.ccdd.eeff vlan-name Green
address 1223.5678.9abc vlan-name ExecStaff
address fedc.ba98.7654 vlan-name --NONE--
address fedc.ba23.1245 vlan-name Purple

VMPS is in secure mode and it is illegal for the host to connect to the port. The port shuts down to
prevent the host from connecting to the network.
More than 50 active hosts reside on a dynamic port.
