Chapter 8 Configuring VLANs
How the VMPS Works
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. In addition, you must first log into the member switch
by using the privileged EXEC rcommand command. For more information about this command, refer
to the switch command reference.
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to change the reconfirmation interval:
