R211x-HP Flexfabric 11900 Fundamentals Command Reference

293
• The interface must not be the console port. The console port of the device belongs to the default
MDC. You cannot assign them to a non-default MDC.
• The interface must not be the management Ethernet interface. The physical management Ethernet
interface of the device belongs to the default MDC and cannot be assigned to a non-default MDC.
When a non-default MDC is created, the system automatically creates a virtual management
Ethernet interface for the MDC. The virtual management Ethernet interfaces of all non-default MDCs
use the same interface type and number and the same physical port and link as the default MDC's
physical management Ethernet interface. However, you must assign different IP addresses to the
virtual management Ethernet interfaces so MDC administrators can access and manage their
respective MDCs. The IP addresses for the management Ethernet interfaces do not need to belong
to the same network segment.
All interfaces on an interface card for the switch must be assigned to the same MDC.
Assigning or reclaiming a physical interface restores the settings of the interface to the defaults. If the
MDC administrator configures the interface during the assigning or reclaiming operation, settings made
before the operation is completed are lost.
To configure a physical interface assigned to an MDC, you must log in to the MDC.
Examples
# Assign interface FortyGigE 1/0/1 to MDC sub1.
<Sysname> system-view
[Sysname] mdc sub1
[Sysname-mdc-2-sub1] allocate interface fortygige 1/0/1
Configuration of the interfaces will be lost. Continue? [Y/N]:y
Group error: all interfaces of one group must be allocated to the same mdc.
FortyGigE1/0/1
Port list of group 4:
FortyGigE1/0/1 FortyGigE1/0/2
FortyGigE1/0/3 FortyGigE1/0/4
FortyGigE1/0/5 FortyGigE1/0/6
FortyGigE1/0/7 FortyGigE1/0/8
The output shows that FortyGigE 1/0/1 through FortyGigE 1/0/8 must be assigned to the same MDC
at the same time. To assign the interfaces to MDC sub1, use the following command:
[Sysname-mdc-2-sub1] allocate interface fortygige 1/0/1 to fortygige 1/0/8
Configuration of the interfaces will be lost. Continue? [Y/N]:y
