Chapter 16 Configuring VLANs
Configuring VMPS
• Port channels cannot be configured as dynamic access ports.
• The VTP management domain of the VMPS client and the VMPS server must be the same.
• VQP does not support extended-range VLANs (VLAN IDs higher than 1006). Extended-range
VLANs cannot be configured by VMPS.
• 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 The switch port that is connected to the VMPS server cannot be a dynamic access port. It can be either
a static access port or a trunk port. See the
“Configuring an Ethernet Interface as a Trunk Port” section
on page 16-16.
Configuring Dynamic Access Ports on VMPS Clients
If you are configuring a port on a cluster member switch as a dynamic port, first use the rcommand
privileged EXEC command to log into the member switch.
Caution Dynamic 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.
