Interswitch Protocols

This chapter describes Interswitch Protocols, which are used to discover adjacent switches, 
and track 

VLAN

 membership and retain mobile group information across switches. They 

include two new protocols and one existing protocol that is updated for release 4.0: 

• Mapping Adjacency Protocol (

XMAP

), a new protocol used to discover the topology of 

Omni Switch/Routers (Omni S/Rs)

• Group Mobility Advertisement Protocol (

GMAP

), a new protocol used to retain learned 

mobile group and protocol information

•

VLAN

 Advertisement Protocol (

VAP

), an existing interswitch protocol used to exchange 

VLAN

 information between switches

The protocols are independent of each other and perform separate functions. Each protocol is 
described in detail in separate sections of this chapter. 

Interswitch Protocol Commands

There is an Interswitch Protocol (

XIP

) submenu. Select 

XIP

 from the AutoTracker submenu, 

and the submenu displays as follows:
