R3303-HP HSR6800 Routers IRF Configuration Guide

ARP MAD-enabled IRF configuration example

Network requirements

Set up a two-chassis IRF fabric at the distribution layer of the enterprise network in Figure 16.

Configure ARP MAD for the IRF fabric and use Router C as an intermediate device. Router C can come

from any vendor.

To prevent loops, enable the spanning tree feature between the IRF fabric and Router C.

Configuration procedure

1. Configure Router A:

# Assign member ID 1 to Router A and bind Ten-GigabitEthernet 3/0/1 to IRF-port 2.

<Sysname> system-view

[Sysname] irf member 1

Info: Member ID change will take effect after the member reboots and operates in IRF

mode.

[Sysname] irf-port 2

[Sysname-irf-port2] port group interface ten-gigabitethernet 3/0/1

[Sysname-irf-port2] quit

# Save the configuration.

[Sysname] quit

<Sysname> save

# Enable IRF mode.

The device will switch to IRF mode and reboot. You are recommended to save the current

running configuration and specify the configuration file for the next startup.
