Configuring ANCP Neighbors

You must configure each neighboring access node that you want the ANCP agent to monitor and potentially shape traffic for. Some neighbor settings override globally configured values.

To configure an ANCP neighbor:

  1. Specify the IP address of the neighbor.
  2. (Optional) Configure the neighbor to operate in a backward-compatible mode when it does not support the current IETF standard and the backward-compatible mode is not configured globally.
  3. (Optional) Override the globally configured backward-compatible mode when the neighbor supports the current IETF standard.
  4. (Optional) Configure the interval in seconds between ANCP adjacency messages exchanged with this neighbor.
  5. (Optional) Specify the maximum number of discovery table entries that are accepted from this neighbor.
  6. (Optional) Enable out-of-band ANCP triggering of autosensed, dynamic VLANs on the physical interface.
  7. (Optional) Configure how long the ANCP agent maintains a Layer 2 wholesale session when an adjacency loss occurs.
