Framework™ (AMF)
Commands
Introduction
This chapter provides an alphabetical reference for Allied Telesis Management
Framework™ (AMF) commands.
AMF master
nodes
Every AMF network must have at least one master node, which acts as the core of
the AMF network. Not all AlliedWare Plus devices are capable of acting as an AMF
master. See the AMF Feature Overview and Configuration Guide for information
about AMF master support.
AMF edge FS980M Series, GS900MX Series and XS900MX Series switches can only be used as
edge switches in an AMF network. The full management power and convenience
of AMF is available on these switches, but they can only link to one other AMF node.
They cannot form cross-links or virtual links.
AMF naming
convention
When AMF is enabled on a device, it will automatically be assigned a host name. If
a host name has already been assigned, by using the command hostname on page
179, this will remain. If however, no host name has been assigned, then the name
applied will be the prefix, host_ followed (without a space) by the MAC address of
the device. For example, a device whose MAC address is 0016.76b1.7a5e will have
the name host_0016_76b1_7a5e assigned to it.
To efficiently manage your network using AMF, we strongly advise that you devise
a naming convention for your network devices, and accordingly apply an
appropriate hostname to each device in your AMF network.
