a member.

Configuring IRF link load sharing mode

On an IRF port that has multiple links, traffic is balanced across its physical links. You can configure the
IRF port to distribute traffic based on certain criteria, including source IP address, destination IP address,
source MAC address, destination MAC address, or any combination of the criteria. If a criteria
combination is not supported, the system displays an error message.
Configure the IRF link load sharing mode for IRF links in system view or IRF port view.
• In system view, the configuration is global and takes effect on all IRF ports.
In IRF port view, the configuration is port specific and takes effect only on the specific IRF port.
•
An IRF port preferentially uses the port-specific load sharing mode. If no port-specific load sharing mode
is available, an IRF port uses the global load sharing mode.

Configuring the global load sharing mode

Step
1. Enter system view.
Configure the global

IRF link load sharing
mode.

Configuring a port-specific load sharing mode

Before you configure a port-specific load sharing mode, make sure you have bound at least two physical
ports to the IRF port.
To configure a port-specific load sharing mode for an IRF port:
Step
1. Enter system view.
2. Enter IRF port view.
3. Configure the
port-specific load
sharing mode.
