vmps serv er
vmps server
To configure the primary VLAN Membership Policy Server (VMPS) and up to three secondary servers,
use the vmps server command. To remove a VMPS server, use the no form of this comma nd.
vmps server ipaddress [primary]
no vmps server ipaddress
Syntax Description
Defaults No primary or seconda ry VMPS servers are define d.
Command Modes Global configura tion mode
Usage Guidelines The first server that you entered is automatically selec ted as the primary server whether or not primary
is entered. You can override the first server address by using primary in a subsequent command.
If a member switch in a cluster configuration does not have an IP address, the cluster does not use the
VMPS server that is configured for that member switch. Instead, the cluster uses the VMPS server on
the command switch, and the command switch proxies the VMPS requests. The VMPS server treats the
cluster as a single switch and uses the IP a ddress of the command switc h to respond to requests.
When usin g the no form without specifying the ipaddress, all configured servers are deleted. If you
delete all servers when dyna mic-acce ss ports a re present, the switch c annot forw ard the pac kets from t he
new sources on these ports because it cann ot query the VMPS.
You can verify your setting by entering the show vmps command and examining information in the
VMPS Domain Server row.
Examples This example shows how to configure the server with IP a ddress 191.10.49.2 0 as the primary VMPS
server. The servers with IP addresses 191.10.49.21 and 191.10. 49.22 are configured as secondary
servers:
Switch(config)# vmps server 191.10.49.20 primary
Switch(config)# vmps server 191.10.49.21
Switch(config)# vmps server 191.10.49.22
Switch(config)#
This example shows how to delete the server with I P address 191.10.49. 21:
Switch(config)# no vmps server 191.10.49.21
Switch(config)#
ipaddress IP address or host name of the pr imary or secondary VMPS serve rs. If you specify
a hostname, the Domain Name System (DNS) server must be configured.
primary ( Optional) Determines whether primary or secondary VMPS servers are being
configured.
