This blog was originally started to better help me understand the technologies in the CCIE R&S blueprint; after completing the R&S track I have decided to transition the blog into a technology blog.

CCIE #29033

This blog will continue to include questions, troubleshooting scenarios, and references to existing and new technologies but will grow to include a variety of different platforms and technologies. Currently I have created over 185 questions/answers in regards to the CCIE R&S track!! Note: answers are in the comment field or within "Read More" section.

a. Determine the MAC addresses of the hosts you want assigned to VLANs dynamically.

b. Create an ASCII text file that contains the MAC address-to-VLAN mappings.

c. Move the ASCII text file to a TFTP server so it can be downloaded to the switch.

Step 2: On the VMPS primary and backup servers:

a. Specify the location and name of the VMPS database file.

b. Enable VMPS.

Step 3: On the VMPS clients

a. Specify the IP addresses for the primary and backup VMSP servers.

b. Configure ports to dynamic mode.
