Configuring Dynamic Ports on VMPS Clients
If you are configuring a port on a member switch as a dynamic port, first log into
the member switch by using the privileged EXEC rcommand command. For more
information on how to use this command, refer to the Catalyst 2900 Series XL
and Catalyst 3500 Series XL Command Reference.
Caution Dynamic port VLAN membership is for end stations. Connecting dynamic
ports to other switches can cause a loss of connectivity.
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to configure a dynamic
port on the VMPS client switches:
The switch port that is connected to the VMPS server should be configured as a
trunk. For more information, see the “Configuring a Trunk Port” section on
page 8-38.
