Chapter 13 Configuring VLANs

Configuring VMPS

Changing the Reconfirmation Interval

VMPS clients periodically reconfirm the VLAN membership information received from the VMPS.You can set the number of minutes after which reconfirmation occurs.

If you are configuring a member switch in a cluster, this parameter must be equal to or greater than the reconfirmation setting on the command switch. You must also first use the rcommand privileged EXEC command to log in to the member switch.

Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to change the reconfirmation interval:

 

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. The range is 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.

 

 

 

To return the switch to its default setting, use the no vmps reconfirm global configuration command.

Changing the Retry Count

Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to change the number of times that the switch attempts to contact the VMPS before querying the next server:

 

Command

Purpose

Step 1

 

 

configure terminal

Enter global configuration mode.

Step 2

 

 

vmps retry count

Change the retry count. The retry range is 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.

 

 

 

To return the switch to its default setting, use the no vmps retry global configuration command.
