    Views System view Predefined user roles network-admin mdc-admin Parameters domain-id: Specifies a domain ID for the IRF fabric. The value range is 0 to 4294967295. Usage guidelines This command is available in IRF mode. Changing the operating mode from IRF to standalone can cause loss of the IRF domain setting, even if you have saved the configuration.

    Parameters always: Enables the IRF bridge MAC address to be permanent regardless of master re-election or leaving of the master. timer: Enables the IRF bridge MAC address to remain the same for 6 minutes after the master device leaves. If the device rejoins the IRF fabric before the time limit is reached, the IRF bridge MAC address does not change.
  • Page 18: Irf Member Description

    mdc-admin Parameters member-id: Assigns an IRF member ID to the device. Value range is 1 to 4. Usage guidelines You must assign an IRF member ID to a device before enabling its IRF mode. The member ID takes effect after the IRF mode is enabled. This member ID must be unique among all IRF member devices.

Views System view Predefined user roles network-admin mdc-admin Parameters member-id: Specifies the ID of an IRF member device, in the range of 1 to 4. new-member-id: Assigns a new ID to the IRF member device, in the range of 1 to 4.
  • Page 21: Irf Mode Enhanced

    If you reboot the device after executing the irf member 2 renumber 4 command, the device member ID changes to 4 at system reboot. Using undo irf member 2 renumber cannot restore the member ID to 2. Related commands irf member irf mode enhanced Use irf mode enhanced to enable enhanced IRF mode.
  • Page 22: Irf Priority

    To successfully disable enhanced IRF mode with the undo irf mode enhanced command after • you enable it in IRF mode, make sure that the IRF fabric has no more than two member devices and each member device has only one IRF port to which one or more physical ports are bound.
  • Page 23: Irf Slot Member

    To change the member priority of a device in IRF mode, use the irf member member-id priority priority command. The new priority setting takes effect at the next master election, and does not trigger master election. Examples # Assign IRF member priority 32 to the device in standalone mode.

    mdc-admin Parameters port-number: Specifies an IRF port number, which must be 1 or 2. Usage guidelines To set up an IRF link between two devices, you must enter IRF port view to bind physical ports to the IRF port used by each device for IRF connection. Before removing all port bindings on an IRF port, shut down all its physical ports.

  • Page 28: Mad Enable

    BFD MAD and ARP MAD together. LACP MAD uses extended LACP packets for detecting multi-active collisions and requires an intermediate HP device that also supports LACP MAD packets. You must set up a dynamic link aggregation group that spans all IRF member devices between the IRF fabric and the intermediate device.
  • Page 29: Mad Exclude Interface

    IRF ports and those manually configured to not shut down. If a port must be kept in up state for special purposes such as Telnet connection, exclude it from the shutdown action. To avoid problems, HP recommends excluding only the one used for Telnet for the management purpose.
