Configuring VMPS

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:

•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.

•VMPS domain server—The IP address of the configured VLAN membership policy servers. The switch sends queries to the one marked current. The one marked primary is the primary server.

•VMPS Action—The result of the most recent reconfirmation attempt. A reconfirmation attempt can occur automatically when the reconfirmation interval expires, or you can force it by entering the vmps reconfirm privileged EXEC command or its Network Assistant or SNMP equivalent.

This is an example of output for the show vmps privileged EXEC command:

Switch# show vmps

Configuration Example for VMPS

Example: VMPS Configuration

This network has a VMPS server switch and VMPS client switches with dynamic-access ports with this configuration:

•The VMPS server and the VMPS client are separate switches.

•The Catalyst 6500 series Switch A is the primary VMPS server.

•The Catalyst 6500 series Switch C and Switch J are secondary VMPS servers.

•End stations are connected to the clients, Switch B and Switch I.

•The database configuration file is stored on the TFTP server with the IP address 172.20.22.7.
