Protocols
Alcatel-Lucent Interswitch Protocol (AIP) is used to discover adjacent switches in the network. The
following protocol is supported:
• Alcatel-Lucent Mapping Adjacency Protocol (AMAP), which is used to discover the topology of
OmniSwitches and Omni Switch/Router (Omni S/R). See “AMAP Overview” on page 20-3.
This protocol is described in detail in this chapter.
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 20-5.
• Configuring the AMAP discovery time-out interval on page 20-5.
• Configuring the AMAP common time-out interval on page 20-6.
