Default Vmps Client Configuration - Cisco Catalyst 4500 series Administration Manual

VLAN Membership Policy Server
A maximum of 50 hosts are supported on a given port at any given time. Once this maximum is exceeded,
the port is shut down, irrespective of the operating mode of the VMPS server.
The VMPS shuts down a dynamic port if more than 50 hosts are active on that port.
