AlliedWare Plus™ Operating System - Version 5.5.3-0.x
AMF and AMF Plus
Commands
Introduction
Overview This chapter provides an alphabetical reference for AMF and AMF Plus commands.
AMF is the Allied Telesis Autonomous Management Framework™, and AMF Plus is
an expanded version of AMF. Both AMF and AMF Plus are a suite of features that
combine to simplify network management across all supported network
equipment from the core to the edge. They also integrate with Vista Manager, our
graphical monitoring and management platform.
On the AlliedWare Plus command line, AMF and AMF Plus are identical. The
difference between them is in Vista Manager, where AMF Plus includes additional
AMF Plus intent-based networking features.
In the rest of this chapter, we use ‘AMF’ to refer to both AMF and AMF Plus.
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 a AMF
master. See the AMF Feature Overview and Configuration Guide for information
about master support.
AMF edge AlliedWare Plus CentreCOM® 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
280, 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 apply an appropriate
hostname to each device in your AMF network.
