HP A7503 Configuration Manual page 53

To offset the risk of IRF fabric partition, configure MAD to detect multi-active collisions. In this
•
example, BFD MAD is adopted.
• Specify priorities for member switches to make sure that Device A is elected as the master of the IRF
fabric.
When IRF links fail, first repair IRF links and then reboot the device in recovery state to make it re-join
•
the IRF fabric.
Configuration procedure
Configure Device A
1.
# Set the member ID of Device A to 1, create IRF ports 1 and 2, and bind them to physical ports
Ten-GigabitEthernet 3/0/1 and Ten-GigabitEthernet 3/0/2 respectively.
<Sysname> system-view
[Sysname] irf member 1
Info: Member ID change will take effect after the switch reboots and operates in IRF mode.
[Sysname] irf-port 1

[Sysname] irf-port 2
[Sysname-irf-port2] port group interface ten-gigabitethernet 3/0/2
[Sysname-irf-port2] quit
# Specify the priority of Device A as 10 to make sure that it is elected as the master when the IRF fabric
is established.

The device will switch to IRF mode and reboot. You are recommended to save the current
running configuration and specify the configuration file for the next startup. Continue?

Now rebooting, please wait...
Device A operates in IRF mode after reboot.
Configure Device B
