Now rebooting, please wait...

Device B and Device A form an IRF after Device B reboots.

3. Configure BFD MAD:

# Create VLAN 3, and add GigabitEthernet 1/4/0/1 and GigabitEthernet 2/4/0/1 to VLAN 3.

<Sysname> system-view

[Sysname] vlan 3

[Sysname-vlan3] port gigabitethernet 1/4/0/1 gigabitethernet 2/4/0/1

[Sysname-vlan3] quit

# Create VLAN-interface 3 and configure a MAD IP address for each member device on the VLAN

interface.

[Sysname] interface vlan-interface 3

[Sysname-Vlan-interface3] mad bfd enable
