Chapter 12 Configuring VLANs Configuring VMPS Command Step 11 interface gigabitethernet0/1 Step 12 Step 13 Step 14 spanning-tree vlan 2-4 cost 30 end Step 15 exit Step 16 show running-config Step 17 copy running-config startup-config Purpose Enter interface configuration mode, and define the interface on which to set the STP cost. Set the spanning-tree path cost to 30 for VLANs 2 through 4. Return to global configuration mode. Repeat Steps 9 through 11 on the other configured trunk interface on Switch A, and set the spanning-tree path cost to 30 for VLANs 8, 9, and 10. Return to privileged EXEC mode. Verify your entries. In the display, verify that the path costs are set correctly for both trunk interfaces. (Optional) Save your entries in the configuration file. Configuring VMPS The VLAN Query Protocol (VQP) is used to support dynamic-access ports, which are not permanently assigned to a VLAN, but given VLAN assignments based on the MAC source addresses seen on the port. Each time an unknown MAC address is seen, the switch sends a VQP query to a remote VMPS; the query includes the newly seen MAC address and the port on which it was seen. The VMPS responds with a VLAN assignment for the port. The switch cannot be a VMPS server but can act as a client to the VMPS and communicate with it through VQP.

Configuring VLANs

Configuring VMPS

The VLAN Query Protocol (VQP) is used to support dynamic-access ports, which are not permanently

assigned to a VLAN, but given VLAN assignments based on the MAC source addresses seen on the port.

Each time an unknown MAC address is seen, the switch sends a VQP query to a remote VMPS; the query

includes the newly seen MAC address and the port on which it was seen. The VMPS responds with a

VLAN assignment for the port. The switch cannot be a VMPS server but can act as a client to the VMPS

and communicate with it through VQP.

This section includes this information about configuring VMPS:

Understanding VMPS

Each time the client switch receives the MAC address of a new host, it sends a VQP query to the VMPS.

When the VMPS receives this query, it searches its database for a MAC-address-to-VLAN mapping. The

server response is based on this mapping and whether or not the server is in open or secure mode. In

secure mode, the server shuts down the port when an illegal host is detected. In open mode, the server

simply denies the host access to the port.

Step 11

interface gigabitethernet0/1

Enter interface configuration mode, and define the interface on which

to set the STP cost.

Step 12

spanning-tree vlan 2-4 cost 30

Set the spanning-tree path cost to 30 for VLANs 2 through 4.

Step 13

end

Return to global configuration mode.

Step 14

Repeat Steps 9 through 11 on the other configured trunk interface on

Switch A, and set the spanning-tree path cost to 30 for VLANs 8, 9, and

10.

Step 15

exit

Return to privileged EXEC mode.

Step 16

show running-config

Verify your entries. In the display, verify that the path costs are set

correctly for both trunk interfaces.

Step 17

copy running-config startup-config

(Optional) Save your entries in the configuration file.
