amap discovery time
Sets the discovery transmission time interval. In the discovery transmission state, an active port sends
AMAP Hello packets to detect adjacent switches. The discovery transmission time specifies the number of
seconds to wait between each Hello packet transmission.
amap discovery [time] seconds
Syntax Definitions
seconds Discovery transmission time value, in seconds (1–65535). Do not use
commas in the value.
Defaults
By default, the discovery transmission time is set to 30 seconds.
Platforms Supported
OmniSwitch 6250
Usage Guidelines
• Use of the time command keyword is optional.
• When AMAP is enabled, all active Spanning Tree ports start out in the discovery transmission state.
• Ports that receive Hello packets before three discovery transmission times expire, send a Hello reply
and transition to the common transmission state.
• Ports that do not receive Hello packets before three discovery transmission times expire, revert to the
passive reception state.
• Ports in the passive reception state do not send Hello packets and do not use any timer to determine
how long to wait for Hello packets.
• The discovery transmission time value is also used by ports in the common transmission state to deter-
mine how long to wait for Hello packets (see page 14-5).
