R211x-HP Flexfabric 11900 IRF Command Reference

Usage guidelines

The global IRF link load sharing mode applies to all IRF ports in the IRF fabric. You can configure the

global IRF link load sharing mode to include a combination of multiple criteria for making traffic

distribution decisions. For example, criteria could include source MAC address and IP address. The

device displays an error message if it does not support a criterion combination.

If you configure the global load sharing mode multiple times, the most recent configuration takes effect.

You can also configure a port-specific load sharing mode for an IRF port in IRF port view.

An IRF port preferentially uses the port-specific load sharing mode. If no port-specific load sharing mode

is available, it uses the global load sharing mode.

Examples

# Configure the global IRF link load sharing mode to distribute traffic based on destination MAC

address.

<Sysname> system-view

[Sysname] irf-port load-sharing mode destination-mac

irf-port load-sharing mode

Use irf-port load-sharing mode to configure a port-specific load sharing mode for an IRF port.

Use undo irf-port load-sharing mode to restore the default.

Syntax

irf-port load-sharing mode { destination-ip | destination-mac | ingress-port | source-ip | source-mac }

undo irf-port load-sharing mode

Default

The global IRF link load sharing mode applies.

Parameters

destination-ip: Distributes traffic across IRF member links based on destination IP address.

destination-mac: Distributes packets across IRF member links based on destination MAC address.

ingress-port: Distributes packets across IRF member links based on incoming port.

source-ip: Distributes packets across IRF member links based on source IP address.

source-mac: Distributes packets across IRF member links based on source MAC address.

Usage guidelines

To configure a port-specific load sharing mode successfully for an IRF port, make sure you have bound

at least one physical port to the IRF port.
