How to Configure and Use AMF on Allied Telesis Switches | Page 37
Adding a preconfigured device to the network
procedure ensures that there is no possibility of creating loops by having an unconfigured
node connected to the network.
The example below shows a clean node that has been connected to a port on a neighboring
AMF node that configured as an atmf-link. AMF detects the new node and attempts
automatic node recovery, but because the new node is not present in the backup stored on
the AMF master, the automatic recovery fails and the AMF safe configuration is applied:
Once automatic recovery has failed you can now use the atmf recover command to
replicate the configuration from the designated similar node:
When the recovery has completed, the new node will be configured to boot from the
cloned configuration, but the configuration will not be applied to the node until it is
rebooted. This way the configuration can be appropriately modified using the AlliedWare
Plus in built editor before the unit is rebooted and the configuration applied.
