Alcatel Mapping Adjacency Protocol (AMAP)
3-99
3
• 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.
Use the AMAP Global Configuration screen to enable/disable AMAP and configure
timeout parameters.
Web – Click Alcatel, AMAP, Settings. Select whether to enable AMAP, enter the
desired timeout intervals and click ‘Apply’.
