7 Allow switch B to reboot to merge into the IRF fabric.
From this point on, all configurations happen only on switch A. No further configuration is needed on switch
B because the control and management planes have been merged as a part of the IRF configuration.
Configure Multi-Active Detection and Remote Access to the Switch
HPE recommends implementing a multi-active detection (MAD) mechanism, which is useful for these purposes:
• To detect the presence of multiple identical IRF fabrics
• To handle collisions
• To recover from faults in the unlikely event of an IRF split or failure
For more information, see the
use the management links to configure MAD Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD).
Note The switch configuration code in this procedure does not include switch prompts.
