Changing the Retry Count
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to change the number of
times that the switch attempts to contact the VMPS before querying the next
server:
Administering and Monitoring the VMPS
You can display information about the VMPS by using the privileged EXEC show
vmps command. The switch displays the following information about the VMPS:
Command Purpose
Step 1
configure terminal Enter global configuration mode.
Step 2
vmps retry count Change the retry count.
The retry range is from 1 to 10; the default is 3.
Step 3
exit Return to privileged EXEC mode.
Step 4
show vmps Verify your entry.
In the display, check the Server Retry Count field.
VMPS VQP Version The version of VQP used to communicate with the VMPS. The switch queries
the VMPS using version 1 of VQP.
Reconfirm Interval The number of minutes the switch waits before reconfirming the
VLAN-to-MAC-address assignments.
Server Retry Count The number of times VQP resends a query to the VMPS. If no response is
received after this many tries, the switch starts to query the secondary VMPS.
VMPS domain server The IP address of the configured VLAN membership policy servers. The switch
sends queries to the one marked current. The one marked primary is the primary
server.
VMPS Action The result of the most recent reconfirmation attempt. This can happen
automatically when the reconfirmation interval expired, or you can force it by
entering the privileged EXEC vmps reconfirm command or its Cluster
Management software or SNMP equivalent.
