[c-nsp] VMPS Not currently supported on 6500 IOS

[Manu Chao]

Hi Gents,

Thanks for the pointer!

I need a star feature:

Is it possible on the OpenVMPS server to configure instead the full
listing of MACs a group of MAC that started with the same value = same
vendors. Something like:

vmps-mac-addrs
address 0010.* vlan-name Printers

or need we to register all MACs?

Regards,
Manu
