VMPS Error Message
TFTP server IP address is not configured.
Unable to contact the TFTP server 172.16.254.222.
File "vmps_configuration.db" not found on the TFTP
server 172.16.254.222.

After VMPS successfully downloads the VMPS database configuration file, it parses the file and builds
a database. When the parsing is complete, VMPS outputs statistics about the total number of lines parsed
and the number of parsing errors.
To obtain more information on VMPS parsing errors, set the syslog level for VMPS to 3 using the set
logging level vmps 3 command.

Command
set port membership mod_num/port_num static
show port [mod_num[/port_num]]
Recommended Action
Specify the TFTP server address using the set vmps tftpserver
ip_addr [filename] command.
Enter a static route (using the set ip route command) to the
TFTP server.
Check the filename of the VMPS database configuration file on
the TFTP server. Make sure the permissions are set correctly.
The switch does not have sufficient resources to run the
database. You can fix this problem by increasing the dynamic
random-access memory (DRAM).
