Chapter 8 Configuring VLANs
How the VMPS Works
Reconfirming VLAN Memberships
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to confirm the dynamic port VLAN membership
assignments that the switch has received from the VMPS:
Changing the Reconfirmation Interval
VMPS clients periodically reconfirm the VLAN membership information received from the VMPS. You
can set the number of minutes after which reconfirmation occurs.
If you are configuring a member switch in a cluster, this parameter must be equal to or greater than the
reconfirmation setting on the command switch. You also must first use the privileged EXEC rcommand
command to log into the member s. For more information about this command, refer to the
Catalyst 2950 Desktop Switch Command Reference.
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to change the reconfirmation interval:
