Configuring Dynamic Access Ports On Vmps Clients - Cisco WS-C3550-12G Software Configuration Manual

Understanding VMPS
This is an example of output for the show vmps privileged EXEC command, used to verify the VMPS
server IP address.

VMPS Action:
The switch port that is connected to the VMPS server cannot be a dynamic access port. It can be

either a static access port or a trunk port. See the

Configuring Dynamic Access Ports on VMPS Clients

Caution Dynamic port VLAN membership is for end stations or hubs connected to end stations. Connecting
dynamic access ports to other switches can cause a loss of connectivity.
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to configure a dynamic access port on a VMPS
client switch:
Command
Step 1 configure terminal
Step 2 interface interface-id
Step 3
switchport mode access
Step 4
switchport access vlan dynamic
Step 5 end
Step 6
show interfaces interface-id switchport
Step 7
copy running-config startup-config
To return an interface to its default configuration, use the default interface interface-id interface
configuration command. To return an interface to its default switchport mode (dynamic desirable), use
the no switchport mode interface configuration command. To reset the access mode to the default
VLAN for the switch, use the no switchport access interface configuration command.
