NAME
       vmpsd - Open Source Cisco VMPS Server

SYNOPSIS
       vpmsd [-d] [-a address] [-f file] [-l level] [-p	port]

DESCRIPTION
       vmpsd is	a GPL implementation of	Cisco's	VMPS server. It	allows for dy-
       namic VLAN creation based upon MAC address, and is particularly helpful
       in  smaller  environments where a Cisco VMPS server is not available or
       feasible.

       Since Cisco has not released documentation for this protocol, vmpsd was
       based entirely on watching  traffic  between  Cisco  VMPS  servers  and
       clients.	 As such, it is	not warranted to be complete or	bug-free.  De-
       spite this issue, vmpsd is suitable for use in production environments,
       as it has proven	to be stable on	large networks	for  long  periods  of
       time.

OPTIONS
       -a  bind	address
	      IP  address to bind vmpsd	to. Requests from clients must come in
	      on this address.

       -d     Causes vmpsd to stay in the foreground instead of	detaching as a
	      daemon. Also logs	to stderr.

       -f  config file
	      Specify the configuration	file that vmpsd	will use. The  program
	      will  fail without this option, as currently there is no default
	      set.

       -l  log level
	      Set the log level	vmpsd will use.	Options	are:

	      	  0x0100 -- fatal errors only

	      	  0x0200 -- informational messages

	      	  0x0400 -- print warnings

	      	  0x0800 -- print debug	messages; very verbose

	      	  0x0001 -- system

	      	  0x0002 -- parser

	      	  0x0004 -- vqp

       -p  listener port
	      Port vmpsd will listen on. Defaults to 1589.
