Chapter 9 Configuring VLANs
Configuring VMPS
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
If you are configuring a port on a cluster member switch as a dynamic-access port, first use the
rcommand privileged EXEC command to log in to the cluster member switch.
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:
To return an interface to its default configuration, use the default interface interface-id interface
configuration command. To return an interface to its default switchport mode (dynamic auto), use the
no switchport mode interface configuration command. To reset the access mode to the default VLAN
for the switch, use the no switchport access vlan interface configuration command.
Command Purpose
Step 1
configure terminal Enter global configuration mode.
Step 2
vmps server ipaddress primary Enter the IP address of the switch acting as the primary VMPS server.
Step 3
vmps server ipaddress (Optional) Enter the IP address of the switch acting as a secondary VMPS
server.
You can enter up to three secondary server addresses.
Step 4
end Return to privileged EXEC mode.
Step 5
show vmps Verify your entries in the VMPS Domain Server field of the display.
Step 6
copy running-config startup-config (Optional) Save your entries in the configuration file.
Command Purpose
Step 1
configure terminal Enter global configuration mode.
Step 2
interface interface-id Specify the switch port that is connected to the end station, and enter
interface configuration mode.
Step 3
switchport mode access Set the port to access mode.
Step 4
switchport access vlan dynamic Configure the port as eligible for dynamic VLAN membership.
The dynamic-access port must be connected to an end station.
Step 5
end Return to privileged EXEC mode.
Step 6
show interfaces interface-id switchport Verify your entries in the Operational Mode field of the display.
Step 7
copy running-config startup-config (Optional) Save your entries in the configuration file.
