VMPS Configuration Guidelines
These guidelines and restrictions apply to dynamic-access port VL A N me mber shi p:
You should configure the VMPS before you configure ports as dynamic-access ports.
When you configure a port as a dynamic-access port, the spanning-tree Port Fast feature is
automatically enabled for that port. The Port Fast mode accelerates the process of bringing the port
into the forwarding state.
IEEE 802.1x ports cannot be configured as dynamic-access ports. If you try to enable IEEE 802.1x
on a dynamic-access (VQP) port, an error message appears, and IEEE 802.1x is not enabled. If you
try to change an IEEE 802.1x-enabled port to dynamic VLAN assignment, an err or message appears,
and the VLAN configuration is not changed.
Trunk ports cannot be dynamic-access ports, but you can enter the switchport access vlan dynamic
interface configuration command for a trunk port. In this case, the switch retains the setting and
applies it if the port is later configured as an access port.
You must turn off trunking on the port before the dynamic-access setting takes effect.
Dynamic-access ports cannot be monitor ports.
Secure ports cannot be dynamic-access ports. You must disable port security on a port before it
becomes dynamic.
Private VLAN ports cannot be dynamic-access ports.
Dynamic-access ports cannot be members of an EtherChannel g roup.
Port channels cannot be configured as dynamic-access ports.
A dynamic-access port can participate in fallback bridging.
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.
