Arp Mad-Enabled Irf Configuration Example - HP 5130 EI series Configuration Manual

CAUTION:
If the intermediate device is also an IRF fabric, assign the two IRF fabrics different domain IDs for
correct split detection. False detection causes IRF split.
# Create VLAN 3, and assign GigabitEthernet 1/0/1, GigabitEthernet 1/0/2, GigabitEthernet
1/0/3, and GigabitEthernet 1/0/4 to VLAN 3 for forwarding BFD MAD packets.

ARP MAD-enabled IRF configuration example

Network requirements
As shown in
Configure ARP MAD in the IRF fabric and use the links connected to Device E for transmitting ARP MAD
packets.
To prevent loops, run the spanning tree feature between Device E and the IRF fabric.
