AMF AND AMF PLUS COMMANDS
DISCOVERY
discovery
Overview Use this command to specify how AMF learns about guest nodes.
AMF nodes gather information about guest nodes by using one of the internally
defined discovery methods: dynamic, static, or agent.
Dynamic learning (the default method) means that AMF learns the guest’s IP and
MAC addresses from LLDP or DHCP snooping. Dynamic learning is only supported
when using IPv4. For IPv6, use static learning.
With dynamic learning, ensure that the command ip dhcp snooping
delete-by-linkdown is set.
Static learning uses the switchport atmf-guestlink command to specify the guest
class name and IP address of the guest node attached to each individual switch
port. AMF then learns the MAC addresses of each of the guests of that class from
ARP or Neighbor discovery tables.
If you are using the static method, ensure that you have configured the
appropriate class type for each of your statically discovered guest nodes.
Agent learning uses the AMF agent to retrieve the guest’s IP and MAC address. It
is only available on guest nodes that support ATMF agent, such as TQ5403 series
access points. For step-by-step instructions on using agent discovery for
auto-recovery of an TQ5403 series AP, see the AMF Feature Overview and
Configuration Guide.
The no variant of this command returns the discovery method to dynamic.

Usage notes This command is one of several modal commands that are configured and applied
for a specific guest-class (mode). Its settings are automatically applied to a
guest-node link by the switchport atmf-guestlink command.
NOTE: AMF guest nodes are not supported on ports using the OpenFlow protocol.
Parameter Description
dynamic Learned from DCHCP Snooping or LLDP.
static Statically assigned.
agent Learned from the AMF agent.
