The VMPS shuts down a dynamic port under these conditions:
The VMPS is in secure mode, and it will not allow the host to connect to the
•
port. The VMPS shuts down the port to prevent the host from connecting to
the network.
•
More than 20 active hosts reside on a dynamic port.
To reenable a shut-down dynamic port, enter the interface configuration no
shutdown command.
Figure 8-7
shows a network with a VMPS server switch and VMPS client
switches with dynamic ports. In this example, these assumptions apply:
The VMPS server and the VMPS client are separate switches.
•
•
The Catalyst 5000 series Switch 1 is the primary VMPS server.
•
The Catalyst 5000 series Switch 3 and Switch 10 are secondary VMPS
servers.
•
End stations are connected to these clients:
Catalyst 2900 XL Switch 2

–
Catalyst 3500 XL Switch 9
The database configuration file is called Bldg-G.db and is stored on the TFTP
•
server with the IP address 172.20.22.7.
