Configuration Example
Configuring an Aggregator Switch
Perform the following steps to configure AMP on an aggregator switch:
1. Turn off Spanning Tree.
2. Define a trunk group for the aggregator-aggregator link (optional). You may use
a single port-to-port link.
3. Turn AMP on, and define the aggregator.
4. Configure the aggregator-aggregator link. Use the trunk group defined in step
2.
5. Define the AMP group links, and enable the AMP group.
Each AMP group has two links, one to each peer switch in the group. For an
aggregator, one AMP group link connects to the other aggregator, and one to the
access switch.
Configuring an Access Switch
Perform the following steps to configure AMP on an access switch:
1. Turn off Spanning Tree.
2. Turn AMP on.
3. Define the AMP group links, and enable the AMP group.
