SWITCHPORT

LINK
switchport atmf-link
Overview
This command enables you to configure a port or aggregator to be an AMF
up/down link. Running this command will automatically place the port or
aggregator into trunk mode.
Use the
no
variant of this command to remove any AMF-link that may exist for the
selected port or aggregated link.
Syntax
switchport atmf-link
no switchport atmf-link
Mode
Interface Configuration for a switchport, a static aggregator or a dynamic channel
group.
Usage
Up/down links and virtual links interconnect domains in a vertical hierarchy, with
the highest domain being the core domain. In effect, they form a tree of
interconnected AMF domains. This tree must be loop-free. Therefore, you must
configure your links so that no rings are formed only from up/down links and/or
virtual links.
Within each domain, cross-links between AMF nodes define those nodes as
siblings within the same domain. You can form rings by combining cross-links with
up/down links and/or virtual links, as long as each AMF domain links upwards to
only a single parent domain. Each domain may link downwards to multiple child
domains.
Do not use a VCStack port as an AMF link, even if you have configured the port as
a data port. During AMF recovery, these ports revert to their default state of being
VCStack ports, so AMF cannot use them for recovery. Use a standard front-panel
data port instead.
Example
To make a switchport 1.0.1 an AMF up/down link, use the following commands:
Node_1#
configure terminal
Node_1(config)#
interface port1.0.1
Node_1(config-if)#
switchport atmf-link
