Chapter 11 Configuring VLANs
Configuring VMPS
• The VTP management domain of the VMPS client and the VMPS server must be the same.
• The VLAN configured on the VMPS server should not be a voice VLAN.
Configuring the VMPS Client
You configure dynamic VLANs by using the VMPS (server). The switch can be a VMPS client; it cannot
be a VMPS server.
Entering the IP Address of the VMPS
You must first enter the IP address of the server to configure the switch as a client.
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to enter the IP address of the VMPS:
Note You must have IP connectivity to the VMPS for dynamic-access ports to work. You can test for IP
connectivity by pinging the IP address of the VMPS and verifying that you get a response.
Configuring Dynamic-Access Ports on VMPS Clients
Caution Dynamic-access port VLAN membership is for end stations or hubs connected to end stations.
Connecting dynamic-access ports to other switches can cause a loss of connectivity.
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to configure a dynamic-access port on a VMPS
client switch:
Command Purpose

Step 2
vmps server ipaddress primary Enter the IP address of the switch acting as the primary VMPS server.
Step 3

server.
You can enter up to three secondary server addresses.
Step 4
end Return to privileged EXEC mode.
Step 5
