Configuring the AMAP Common Time-out Interval
The common time-out interval is used only in the common transmission state to determine the time inter-
val between sending Hello update packets. A switch sends an update for a port just before or after the
common time-out interval expires.
Note. Switches avoid synchronization by jittering the common time-out interval plus or minus 10 percent
of the configured value. For example, if the default common time-out interval is used (300 seconds), the
jitter is plus or minus 30 seconds.
When a Hello packet is received from an adjacent switch before the common time-out interval expires, the
switch sends a Hello reply and restarts the common transmission timer.
The common time-out interval is set to 300 seconds by default. To display the current common time-out
interval, enter the following command:
-> show amap
To change the common time-out interval, use either of these forms of the command with the desired value
(any value between 1 and 65535). Note that the use of the time command keyword is optional. For exam-
ple:
-> amap common 600
-> amap common time 600
