10 Using Interswitch
Protocols
Alcatel Interswitch Protocols (AIP) are used to discover adjacent switches and retain mobile port informa-
tion across switches. The following protocol is supported:
• Alcatel Mapping Adjacency Protocol (AMAP), which is used to discover the topology of
OmniSwitches and OmniSwitch/Routers (Omni S/R). See “AMAP Overview” on page 10-3.
In This Chapter
This chapter describes the AMAP protocol and how to configure it through the Command Line Interface
(CLI). CLI commands are used in the configuration examples; for more details about the syntax of
commands, see the OmniSwitch CLI Reference Guide.
Configuration procedures described in this chapter include:
• Activating AMAP on page 10-5.
• Configuring the AMAP discovery timeout interval on page 10-5.
• Configuring the AMAP common timeout interval on page 10-6.
