AMF AND AMF PLUS COMMANDS
SWITCHPORT
ATMF-AREALINK
switchport atmf-arealink
Overview This command enables you to configure a port or aggregator to be an AMF area
link. AMF area links are designed to operate between two nodes in different areas
in an AMF network.
Use the no variant of this command to remove any AMF area link that may exist for
the selected port or aggregated link.
This command is only available on AMF controllers and master nodes.
Syntax
switchport atmf-arealink remote-area <area-name> vlan <2-4094>
no switchport atmf-arealink
Default No arealinks are configured.
Mode Interface Configuration for a switchport, a static aggregator, or a dynamic channel
group.
Usage notes Run this command on the port or aggregator at both ends of the link.
Each area must have the area-name configured, and the same area password must
exist on both ends of the link.
Running this command will automatically place the port or static aggregator into
trunk mode (i.e. switchport mode trunk) and will synchronize the area information
stored on the two nodes.
You can configure multiple arealinks between two area nodes, but only one
arealink at any time will be in use. All other arealinks will block information, to
prevent network storms.
NOTE: See the atmf-arealink command to configure an AMF area link on an AR-series
Eth interface.
Example To make switchport port1.0.2 an arealink to the ‘Auckland’ area on VLAN 6, use the
commands:
controller-1# configure terminal
controller-1(config)# interface port1.0.2
controller-1(config-if)# switchport atmf-arealink remote-area
Auckland vlan 6
Parameter Description
<area-name> The name of the remote area that the port is connecting to.
<2-4094> The VLAN ID for the link. This VLAN cannot be used for any other
purpose, and the same VLAN ID must be used at each end of the link.
