HPE FlexNetwork 10500 series Command Reference Manual page 35

interface-name: Specifies a physical interface in the interface-typeinterface-number format. No
space is allowed between the interface-type and interface-number arguments.
mode: Specifies a binding mode for the IRF physical interface.
•
enhanced: Sets the binding mode to enhanced.
•
extended: Sets the binding mode to extended. Specify this binding mode if optical
transmission devices are deployed on the IRF link. This keyword is reserved for future support.
Usage guidelines
The MDC settings might lose effect after the device reboots to join an IRF fabric. As a best practice,
create MDCs and bind the physical interfaces on non-default MDCs to an IRF port only after the IRF
fabric is formed. For more information about MDCs, see Virtual Technologies Configuration Guide.
In IRF mode, use the shutdown command to shut down a physical interface before you bind it to or
remove it from an IRF port. To bring up the physical interface after a binding or binding removal
operation, use the undo shutdown command.
In standalone mode, the shutdown and undo shutdown operations are not required.
Repeat the port group interface command to bind a maximum of eight physical interfaces to an IRF
port for link redundancy.
The binding mode takes effect only after the IRF binding takes effect.
The system does not dynamically remove IRF port bindings when IRF links are lost, for example,
because an interface module is removed. To remove IRF port bindings, you must use the undo port
group interface command.
For more information about IRF port binding requirements, see Virtual Technologies Configuration
Guide.
Examples
# (In standalone mode.) Bind Ten-GigabitEthernet 1/0/1 to IRF-port 1.
<Sysname> system-view
[Sysname] irf-port 1
[Sysname-irf-port1] port group interface ten-gigabitethernet 1/0/1
# (In IRF mode.) Bind Ten-GigabitEthernet 1/1/0/1 to IRF-port 1 of member 1.
<Sysname> system-view
[Sysname] interface ten-gigabitethernet 1/1/0/1
[Sysname-Ten-GigabitEthernet1/1/0/1] shutdown
[Sysname-Ten-GigabitEthernet1/1/0/1] quit
[Sysname] irf-port 1/1
[Sysname-irf-port1/1] port group interface ten-gigabitethernet 1/1/0/1
You must perform the following tasks for a successful IRF setup:
Save the configuration after completing IRF configuration.
Execute the "irf-port-configuration active" command to activate the IRF ports.
[Sysname-irf-port1/1] quit
[Sysname] interface ten-gigabitethernet 1/1/0/1
[Sysname-Ten-GigabitEthernet1/1/0/1] undo shutdown
