Configuring VLANs
How to Configure VLANs
Configuring the VMPS Client
You configure dynamic VLANs by using the VMPS (VLAN Membership Policy Server). The switch can be a VMPS client;
it cannot be a VMPS server.
Entering the IP Address of the VMPS
Before You Begin
You must first enter the IP address of the server to configure the switch as a client.
You must have IP connectivity to the VMPS for dynamic-access ports to work. You can test for IP connectivity by
pinging the IP address of the VMPS and verifying that you get a response.
If the VMPS is being defined for a cluster of switches, enter the address on the command switch.
7.
show running-config
Verifies your entries. In the display, make sure that the interfaces are
configured as trunk ports.
8.
show vlan
When the trunk links come up, Switch A receives the VTP information
from the other switches. Verifies that Switch A has learned the VLAN
configuration.
9.
configure terminal
Enters global configuration mode.
10.
interface
interface-id_1
Defines the interface on which to set the STP cost, and enters interface
configuration mode.
11.
spanning-tree vlan 2-4 cost 30
Sets the spanning-tree path cost to 30 for VLANs 2 through 4.
12.
end
Returns to global configuration mode.
13.
Repeat Steps 9 through 12 on the other
configured trunk interface on Switch A,
and set the spanning-tree path cost to 30
for VLANs 8, 9, and 10.
14.
exit
Returns to privileged EXEC mode.
15.
show running-config
Verifies your entries. In the display, verify that the path costs are set
correctly for both trunk interfaces.
