Configuring Arp Mad - HP 5900 Series Configuration Manual

Step
9. Enable BFD MAD.
10. Configure a MAD IP address
for a member device on the
VLAN interface.

Configuring ARP MAD

When you use ARP MAD, follow these guidelines:
If an intermediate device is used, you can use common data links as ARP MAD links. If no
•
intermediate device is used, set up dedicated ARP MAD links between IRF member devices.
Use a VLAN dedicated to ARP MAD.
•
If an intermediate device is used, do the following:
•
Run the spanning tree feature between the IRF fabric and the intermediate device.
Enable the IRF fabric to change its bridge MAC address as soon as the master leaves.
Create an ARP MAD VLAN and assign the ports on the ARP MAD links to the VLAN.
If the intermediate device is in an IRF fabric, you must assign this fabric a different domain ID
than the ARP MAD-enabled fabric to avoid false detection of IRF splits.
To configure ARP MAD:
Step
1. Enter system view.
2. Assign a domain ID to the IRF
fabric.
3. Create a VLAN dedicated to
ARP MAD.
4. Return to system view.
5. Enter Ethernet interface view.

Remarks
By default, BFD MAD is
disabled.
By default, no MAD IP address is
configured on any VLAN
interface.
Repeat this step to assign a MAD
IP address to each member
device on the VLAN interface.
The MAD IP addresses must not
be on the same subnet as any IP
address configured on any
member device.
Remarks
N/A
The default IRF domain ID is 0.
The default VLAN on the device
is VLAN 1.
