To return the switch to its default setting, use the no vmps retry global configuration command.
Monitoring the VMPS
You can display information about the VMPS by using the show vmps privileged EXEC command. The
switch displays this information about the VMPS:
Command Purpose
Step 1 configure terminal Enter global configuration mode.
Step 2 vmps reconfirm minutes Enter the number of minutes between reconfirmations of the dynamic
VLAN membership.
Enter a number from 1 to 120. The default is 60 minutes.
Step 3 end Return to privileged EXEC mode.
Step 4 show vmps Verify the dynamic VLAN reconfirmation status in the Reconfirm
Interval field of the display.
Step 5 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 vmps retry count Change the retry count.
The retry range is from 1 to 10; the default is 3.
Step 3 end Return to privileged EXEC mode.
Step 4 show vmps Verify your entry in the Server Retry Count field of the display.
Step 5 copy running-config startup-config (Optional) Save your entries in the configuration file.
VMPS VQP Version The version of VQP used to communicate with the VMPS. The switch queries
the VMPS that is using VQP version 1.
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.
