VMPS Error Messages
VMPS Error Message
TFTP server IP address is not configured.
Unable to contact the TFTP server
172.16.254.222.
File "vmps_configuration.db" not found on the
TFTP server 172.16.254.222.
Enable failed due to insufficient resources.
After VMPS successfully downloads the VMPS database configuration file, it parses the file and builds
a database. When the parsing is complete, VMPS outputs statistics about the total number of lines that
are parsed and the number of parsing errors.
To obtain more information on the VMPS parsing errors, set the syslog level for VMPS to 3 using the
set logging level vmps 3 command.

Troubleshooting VMPS and Dynamic Port VLAN Membership
Recommended Action
Specify the TFTP server address using the set vmps tftpserver
ip_addr [filename] command.
Enter a static route (using the set ip route command) to the
TFTP server.
Check the filename of the VMPS database configuration file on
the TFTP server. Make sure that the permissions are set
correctly.
The switch does not have sufficient resources to run the
database. You can fix this problem by increasing the dynamic
random-access memory (DRAM).
