Chapter 13 Configuring VLANs

Configuring 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:

	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-idswitchport	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.

To return an interface to its default configuration, use the default interface interface-idinterface 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.

Reconfirming VLAN Memberships

Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to confirm the dynamic-access port VLAN membership assignments that the switch has received from the VMPS:

	Command	Purpose
Step 1
	vmps reconfirm	Reconfirm dynamic-access port VLAN membership.
Step 2
	show vmps	Verify the dynamic VLAN reconfirmation status.
