R3303-HP HSR6800 Routers IRF Command Reference

23
port group interface
Use port group interface to bind a physical port to an IRF port.
Use undo port group interface to remove the binding of a physical port and an IRF port.
Syntax
port group interface interface-type interface-number [ mode { enhanced | normal } ]
undo port group interface interface-name
Default
No physical ports are bound to any IRF port. After bound to an IRF port, a physical port operates in
normal mode.

Default command level
3: Manage level
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: Sets the operating mode of the physical IRF port.
• enhanced: Sets the physical IRF port to operate in enhanced mode.
• normal: Sets the physical IRF port to operate in normal mode.
Usage guidelines
In IRF mode, use the shutdown command to shut down the physical port before binding it to or removing
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 four physical ports to an IRF port for link
redundancy.
Make sure the physical ports at both ends of an IRF link are using the same operating mode. For an
aggregate IRF link, HP recommends configuring the same operating mode for all physical IRF ports at
both ends. To support MPLS L2VPN or VPLS, use the enhanced mode.
The operating mode set in the port group interface command takes effect only when the physical port is
operating as an IRF physical port.
The system does not automatically remove the binding between a physical port and an IRF port, even if
the IRF link has been lost. (For example, this situation could occur when 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.
