R21xx-HP FlexFabric 11900 IRF Command Reference

Parameters

interface-type interface-number: Specifies a physical port by its type and number.

interface-name: Specifies a physical port in the interface-typeinterface-number format. No space is

allowed between the interface-type and interface-number arguments.

mode: Specifies a binding mode for the physical IRF port.

• enhanced: Sets the binding mode to enhanced.

• normal: Sets the binding mode to normal.

Usage guidelines

In IRF mode, you must use the shutdown command to shut down the physical port before you can bind

it to or remove it from the IRF port. After the binding or binding removal operation is complete, use the

undo shutdown command to bring up the physical port.

In standalone mode, the shutdown and undo shutdown operations are not required.

Repeat the port group interface command to bind up to eight physical ports to an IRF port for link

redundancy.

The binding mode takes effect only when the physical port is bound to an IRF port. Make sure the two

ends of an IRF link use the same binding mode. To use the EVB, TRILL, MPLS L2VPN, or VPLS function, you

must use enhanced binding mode.

The system does not dynamically remove the binding between a physical port and an IRF port even if the

IRF link has been lost, for example, because the interface card holding the physical port is removed. To

remove the binding, use the undo port group interface command.

Examples

# In standalone mode, bind port Ten-GigabitEthernet 2/0/1 to IRF-port 1.

<Sysname> system-view

[Sysname] irf-port 1

[Sysname-irf-port1] port group interface ten-gigabitethernet 2/0/1

# In IRF mode, bind port Ten-GigabitEthernet 1/2/0/1 to IRF-port 1 of member 1.
