Chapter 17 Configuring VLANs, VTP, and VMPS
VLAN Membership Policy Server
d. Assign the port dynamic VLAN membership:
switch(config-if)# switchport access vlan dynamic
e. Return to privileged EXEC mode:
switch(config-if)# exit
switch#
Step 3 Connect End Station 2 on port Fa2/1. When End Station 2 sends a packet, Switch 2 sends a query to the
primary VMPS server, Switch 1. Switch 1 responds with the VLAN ID for port Fa2/1. If spanning-tree
PortFast mode is enabled on Fa2/1, port Fa2/1 connects immediately and begins forwarding.
Step 4 Set the VMPS reconfirmation period to 60 minutes. The reconfirmation period is the number of minutes
the switch waits before reconfirming the VLAN to MAC address assignments.
switch# config terminal
switch(config)# vmps reconfirm 60
Step 5 Confirm the entry from privileged EXEC mode:
switch# show vmps
VQP Client Status:
--------------------
VMPS VQP Version: 1
Reconfirm Interval: 60 min
Server Retry Count: 3
VMPS domain server:
Reconfirmation status
---------------------
VMPS Action: No Dynamic Port
Step 6 Repeat Steps 1 and 2 to configure the VMPS server addresses, and assign dynamic ports on each VMPS
client switch.
VMPS Database Configuration File Example
This example shows a sample VMPS database configuration file as it appears on a VMPS server. A
VMPS database configuration file is an ASCII text file that is stored on a TFTP server accessible to the
switch that functions as the VMPS server.
!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
