Configuring The Global Load Sharing Mode; Configuring A Port-Specific Load Sharing Mode; Configuring Irf Bridge Mac Persistence - HP FlexFabric 5700 series Configuration Manual

Set the IRF link load sharing mode and the global load sharing mode for Ethernet link aggregation
•
as follows:
Set the IRF link load sharing mode to distribute traffic based on source IP, destination IP, or both
source and destination IP addresses. The command syntax is irf-port load-sharing mode
{ destination-ip | source-ip } *.
Set the global load sharing mode for Ethernet link aggregation to distribute traffic based on
source service port, destination service port, or both source and destination service ports. The
command syntax is link-aggregation global load-sharing mode { destination-port |
source-port } *. For more information about Ethernet link aggregation load sharing, see Layer
2—LAN Switching Configuration Guide.

Configuring the global load sharing mode

Step
1. Enter system view.
2. 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 a minimum of one
physical interface 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.
Configure the port-specific
3.
load sharing mode.

Configuring IRF bridge MAC persistence

By default, an IRF fabric uses the bridge MAC address of the master device as its bridge MAC address.
Layer 2 protocols, such as LACP, use this bridge MAC address to identify the IRF fabric. On a switched
LAN, the bridge MAC address must be unique.

Remarks
N/A
By default, packets are
distributed automatically across
IRF member links based on
packet types.
If you execute this command
multiple times, the most recent
configuration takes effect.
