Understanding VMPS clients
Configuring the Retry Interval
You can set the number of times that the VMPS client attempts to contact the VMPS before querying the
next server.
To set the retry interval, perform this task:
Command
Step 1
Switch# configure terminal
Step 2
Switch(config)# vmps retry count
Step 3
Switch(config)# end
Step 4
Switch# show vmps
This example shows how to change the retry count to 5 and to verify the change:
Switch# configure terminal
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
Switch(config)# vmps retry 5
Switch(config)# end
Switch# show vmps

The version of VQP used to communicate with the VMPS. The
switch queries the VMPS using VQP Version 1.
The number of minutes the switch waits before reconfirming the
VLAN-to-MAC-address assignments.
The number of times VQP resends a query to the VMPS. If no
response is received after this many tries, the switch starts to
query the secondary VMPS.
