Chapter 13 Configuring VLANs
Configuring VMPS
Configuring Dynamic-Access Ports on VMPS Clients
Caution
Dynamic-access 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.
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to configure a dynamic-access port on a VMPS
client switch:
To return an interface to its default configuration, use the
default interface
interface-id
interface
configuration command. To return an interface to its default switchport mode (dynamic auto), use the
no
switchport mode
interface configuration command. To reset the access mode to the default VLAN for
the switch, use the
no switchport access vlan
interface configuration command.
Reconfirming VLAN Memberships
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to confirm the dynamic-access port VLAN
membership assignments that the switch has received from the VMPS:
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.
