Vmps Server - Cisco Catalyst 2960 Command Reference Manual

vmps server

vmps server
Use the vmps server global configuration command to configure the primary VLAN Membership Policy
Server (VMPS) and up to three secondary servers. Use the no form of this command to remove a VMPS
server.
Syntax Description
ipaddress
primary
Defaults
No primary or secondary VMPS servers are defined.
Command Modes Global configuration
Command History Release
12.2(25)FX
Usage Guidelines The first server entered is automatically selected as the primary server whether or not primary is
entered. The first server address can be overridden by using primary in a subsequent command.
If a member switch in a cluster configuration does not have an IP address, the cluster does not use the
VMPS server configured for that member switch. Instead, the cluster uses the VMPS server on the
command switch, and the command switch proxies the VMPS requests. The VMPS server treats the
cluster as a single switch and uses the IP address of the command switch to respond to requests.
When using the no form without specifying the ipaddress, all configured servers are deleted. If you
delete all servers when dynamic-access ports are present, the switch cannot forward packets from new
sources on these ports because it cannot query the VMPS.
Examples This example shows how to configure the server with IP address 191.10.49.20 as the primary VMPS
server. The servers with IP addresses 191.10.49.21 and 191.10.49.22 are configured as secondary
servers:
Switch(config)# vmps server 191.10.49.20 primary
Switch(config)# vmps server 191.10.49.21
Switch(config)# vmps server 191.10.49.22
This example shows how to delete the server with IP address 191.10.49.21:
Switch(config)# no vmps server 191.10.49.21
