Usage guidelines
This command is available in IRF mode. When you change the operating mode from IRF to
standalone, the bridge MAC persistence setting is lost, regardless of whether you have saved the
configuration.
This command does not take effect if the IRF bridge MAC address is configured by using the irf
mac-address mac-address command.
Depending on the network condition, enable the IRF fabric to retain or change its bridge MAC
address after the address owner leaves.
On a switched LAN, the bridge MAC address must be unique for correct traffic transmission.
IRF fabrics cannot merge if they contain member devices that have the same bridge MAC address.
Examples
# Enable the IRF bridge MAC address to be permanent.
<Sysname> system-view
[Sysname] irf mac-address persistent always
