VMPS Database Configuration File Example
This example shows a sample VMPS database configuration file. A VMPS database configuration file
is an ASCII text file that is stored on a TFTP server accessible to the switch configured as the VMPS
server.
!VMPS File Format, version 1.1
! Always begin the configuration file with
! the word "VMPS"
!
!vmps domain <domain-name>
! The VMPS domain must be defined.
!vmps mode {open | secure}
! The default mode is open.
!vmps fallback <vlan-name>
!vmps no-domain-req { allow | deny }
!
! The default value is allow.
vmps domain WBU
vmps mode open
vmps fallback default
vmps no-domain-req deny
