Changing The Reconfirmation Interval; Changing The Retry Count - Cisco WS-C2955T-12 Software Manual

Chapter 8 Configuring VLANs

Changing the Reconfirmation Interval

VMPS clients periodically reconfirm the VLAN membership information received from the VMPS. You
can set the number of minutes after which reconfirmation occurs.
If you are configuring a member switch in a cluster, this parameter must be equal to or greater than the
reconfirmation setting on the command switch. In addition, you must first log into the member switch
by using the privileged EXEC rcommand command. For more information about this command, refer
to the switch command reference.
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to change the reconfirmation interval:
Command
Step 1 configure terminal
Step 2
vmps reconfirm minutes
Step 3
end
Step 4 show vmps

Changing the Retry Count

Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to change the number of times that the switch
attempts to contact the VMPS before querying the next server:
Command
Step 1
configure terminal
Step 2
vmps retry count
Step 3 exit
Step 4 show vmps
