Configuring Irf Member Devices In Irf Mode; Assigning An Irf Domain Id To The Irf Fabric - HPE FlexNetwork HSR6800 Configuration Manual

Task
Log in to a standby MPU in the
IRF fabric.
To return to the CLI of the global active MPU, use the quit command.

Configuring IRF member devices in IRF mode

After you access the global active MPU's CLI, you can perform the tasks in this section or configure
features in other configuration guides for the IRF fabric.

Assigning an IRF domain ID to the IRF fabric

This task is required for running LACP MAD between two IRF fabrics. For BFD MAD, this task is
optional.
One IRF fabric forms one IRF domain. IRF domain IDs prevent IRF fabrics from interfering with one
another.
In Figure 11, Device A and Device B form IRF fabric 1, and Router A and Router B form IRF fabric 2.
These fabrics have LACP MAD links between them. When a member device in one IRF fabric
receives an LACP MAD packet, it looks at the domain ID in the packet to see whether the packet is
from the local IRF fabric or from a different IRF fabric. Then, the device can handle the packet
correctly.
