Chapter 18 Configuring Dynamic Port VLAN Membership with VMPS
Dynamic Port VLAN Membership with Auxiliary VLANs
Use this procedure to configure VMPS and dynamic ports:
Step 1
Configure Switch 1 as the primary VMPS server.
a.
Configure the IP address of the TFTP server on which the ASCII file resides:
Console> (enable)
set vmps tftpserver 172.20.22.7 Bldg-G.db
b.
Enable VMPS:
Console> (enable)
set vmps state enable
After entering these commands, the file Bldg-G.db is downloaded to Switch 1. Switch 1 becomes the
VMPS server.
Step 2
Configure the VMPS server addresses on each VMPS client.
a.
Configure the primary VMPS server IP address:
Console> (enable)
set vmps server 172.20.26.150 primary
b.
Configure the secondary VMPS server IP addresses:
Console> (enable)
set vmps server 172.20.26.152
Console> (enable)
set vmps server 172.20.26.159
c.
Verify the VMPS server addresses:
Console> (enable)
show vmps server
Step 3
Configure port 3/1 on Switch 2 as dynamic.
Console> (enable)
set port membership 3/1 dynamic
Step 4
Connect End Station 2 on port 3/1. When End Station 2 sends a packet, Switch 2 sends a query to the
primary VMPS server, Switch 1. Switch 1 responds with the VLAN to assign to port 3/1. Because
spanning tree PortFast mode is enabled by default on dynamic ports, port 3/1 connects immediately and
enters forwarding mode.
Step 5
Repeat Steps 2 and 3 to configure the VMPS server addresses and assign dynamic ports on each VMPS
client switch.
Dynamic Port VLAN Membership with Auxiliary VLANs
Note
This feature requires software release 6.2(1) or later releases.
This section describes how to configure a dynamic port to belong to two VLANs—a native VLAN and
an auxiliary VLAN. This section uses the following terminology:
•
Auxiliary VLAN—Separate VLAN for IP phones
•
Native VLAN—Traditional VLAN for data
•
Auxiliary VLAN ID—VLAN ID of an auxiliary VLAN
•
Native VLAN ID—VLAN ID of a native VLAN
