VLAN Membership Policy Server
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 configure the retry interval, perform this task:
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
VQP Client Status:
--------------------
VMPS VQP Version: 1
Reconfirm Interval: 60 min
Server Retry Count: 5
VMPS domain server: 172.20.130.50 (primary, current)
Reconfirmation status
---------------------
VMPS Action: No Host
Administering and Monitoring the VMPS
You can display the following information about the VMPS with the show vmps command:
Command Purpose
Step 1
Switch# configure terminal
Enters global configuration mode.
Step 2
Switch(config)# vmps retry
count
Specifies the retry count for the VPQ queries. Default is 3. Range is
from 1 to 10.
Step 3
Switch(config)# end
Returns to privileged EXEC mode.
Step 4
Switch# show vmps
Verifies the retry count.
VQP Version The version of VQP used to communicate with the VMPS. The
switch queries the VMPS using VQP Version 1.
Reconfirm Interval The number of minutes the switch waits before reconfirming the
VLAN-to-MAC-address assignments.
Server Retry Count 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.
