The following parameters describe the three main AMAP port states:
• Discovery – The initial state where a port transmits a “Hello” packet to detect an
adjacent switch and then waits for a response.
• Common – The port has detected an adjacent switch and periodically sends
“Hello” packets to determine that it is still present.
• Passive – A port enters this state if there is no response to a Discovery “hello”
packet. This is a receive-only state and no “Hello” packets are transmitted. If a
“Hello” packet is received from an adjacent switch, the port enters the Common
state and then transmits a “Hello” packet in reply.
“Hello” packet is received from an adjacent switch, the port enters the Common
state and then transmits a “Hello” packet in reply.
Command Attributes
• AMAP Status – Enables or disables AMAP on the switch. (Default: enabled)
• Discovery Timeout Interval – Sets the time the switch will wait before sending a
“Hello” packet to detect an adjacent switch. (Range:1-65535 seconds)
• Common Timeout Interval – After detecting an adjacent switch this sets the time
the switch will wait before sending a further “Hello” packet to determine if the
adjacent switch is still connected. (Range:1-65535 seconds)
adjacent switch is still connected. (Range:1-65535 seconds)
