Chapter 15 Configuring VLANs
Configuring VMPS
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 group.
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.

Entering the IP Address of the VMPS

You must first enter the IP address of the server to configure the switch as a client.
Note If the VMPS is being defined for a cluster of switches, enter the address on the command switch.
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.
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.
