VLAN Membership Policy Server
Two topologies are possible. Figure 10-5 illustrates a topology with one end station attached directly to
a Catalyst 4500 series switch operating as a VMPS client. Figure 10-6 illustrates a topology with an end
station attached to a Cisco IP Phone, which is attached to a Catalyst 4500 series switch.

In the following procedure, the Catalyst 4000 and Catalyst 6000 series switches (running CatOS) are the
VMPS servers. Use this procedure to configure the Catalyst 4500 series switch clients in the network:
Step 1 Configure the VMPS server addresses on Switch 2, the client switch.
a. Starting from privileged EXEC mode, enter global configuration mode:
switch# configuration terminal
b. Enter the primary VMPS server IP address:
switch(config)# vmps server 172.20.26.150 primary
c. Enter the secondary VMPS server IP addresses:
switch(config)# vmps server 172.20.26.152
d. To verify your entry of the VMPS IP addresses, return to privileged EXEC mode:
switch#(config) exit
e. Display VMPS information configured for the switch:
switch# show vmps
