Preface The H3C S3600V2 documentation set includes 10 command references, which describe the commands and command syntax options available for the H3C S3600V2 Switch Series Release 2108. The IRF Command Reference describes IRF configuration commands for creating an IRF fabric. It covers the commands for binding physical ports to an IRF port, configuring the member switch ID and priority, and detecting and maintaining the IRF link.

Conventions This section describes the conventions used in this documentation set. Command conventions Convention Description Boldface Bold text represents commands and keywords that you enter literally as shown. Italic Italic text represents arguments that you replace with actual values. Square brackets enclose syntax choices (keywords or arguments) that are optional. Braces enclose a set of required syntax choices separated by vertical bars, from which { x | y | ...

For more information about regular expressions, see Fundamentals Configuration Guide.
Table 1 Command output Field Description IRF member ID: Switch • ID of the master is prefixed with an asterisk (*) sign. • ID of the device where you are logged in is prefixed with a plus (+) sign. Switch role in the IRF fabric: •...
begin: Displays the first line that matches the specified regular expression and all lines that follow. exclude: Displays all lines that do not match the specified regular expression. include: Displays all lines that match the specified regular expression. regular-expression: Specifies a regular expression, a case-sensitive string of 1 to 256 characters. Description Use display irf configuration to display the basic IRF settings.
Description Use display irf topology to display the IRF fabric topology. Command output includes member IDs, IRF port state, and adjacencies of IRF ports.

member-id/port-number: Specifies an IRF port number. The member-id argument represents an IRF member ID. The port-number argument represents the index number (1 or 2) of the IRF port on the member device. |: Filters command output by specifying a regular expression. For more information about regular expressions, see Fundamentals Configuration Guide.

Field Description The subordinate switch is bulk-backing up data from Batch backup the master. The subordinate switch is backing up real-time data Realtime backup to slave from the master switch. The subordinate switch is transitioning to be the Data smooth master.
To avoid an update failure, make sure the switch has efficient space for the new system software image. If the switch you are adding to the IRF fabric is incompatible with the software version running on the master, the software auto-update function cannot work correctly. If software auto-update function is disabled, you must manually update the switch with the system software image of the master.
Sets the IRF link down report delay in milliseconds. The value range is 0 to 10000. If your IRF fabric requires a fast master/subordinate or IRF link switchover or has deployed the BFD or GR feature, H3C recommends setting the delay to 0 seconds. Description Use irf link-delay to set the delay for the IRF ports in the IRF fabric to report a link down event.
Description Use irf mac-address persistent to configure IRF bridge MAC persistence so the IRF fabric continues to use the bridge MAC address of the old master as its bridge MAC address for a period of time after a master re-election. Use undo irf mac-address persistent to disable IRF bridge MAC persistence so the IRF fabric changes its bridge MAC address as soon as the master leaves.
[Sysname] irf member 1 description F1Num001 irf member priority Syntax irf member member-id priority priority undo irf member member-id priority View System view Default level 3: Manage level Parameters member-id: Specifies an IRF member ID. priority: Sets priority in the range of 1 to 32. The greater the priority value, the higher the priority. A member with higher priority is more likely to be the master.
irf member renumber Syntax irf member member-id renumber new-member-id undo irf member member-id renumber View System view Default level 3: Manage level Parameters member-id: Specifies the current ID of an IRF member switch. The value range is 1 to 10. new-member-id: Assigns a new ID to the IRF member switch.

irf-port Syntax irf-port member-id/port-number undo irf-port member-id/port-number View System view Default level 3: Manage level Parameters member-id/port-number: Specifies an IRF port number. The member-id argument represents the IRF member ID. The port-number argument represents the index of the port on the member switch, and must be 1 or 2.
Parameters destination-ip: Distributes traffic across IRF member links based on destination IP address. destination-mac: Distributes packets across IRF member links based on destination MAC address. source-ip: Distributes packets across IRF member links based on source IP address. source-mac: Distributes packets across IRF member links based on source MAC address. Description Use irf-port load-sharing mode to set the global or port-specific load sharing mode for IRF links.

After connecting the physical ports between two switches and bind them to the correct IRF ports, you must use this command to activate the settings on the IRF ports to merge the two switches into one IRF fabric. After an IRF port is activated, its link state in the display irf topology command output changes from DIS or DOWN to UP.
View VLAN interface view Default level 3: Manage level Parameters None Description Use mad bfd enable to enable BFD MAD. Use undo mad bfd enable to disable BFD MAD. By default, BFD MAD is disabled. BFD MAD uses the BFD protocol for detecting multi-active collisions, and can work with or without intermediate devices.
H3C device that also supports LACP MAD packets. When you use LACP MAD, follow these guidelines: The intermediate device must be an H3C device that support extended LACP for MAD. • If the intermediate device is in an IRF fabric, assign this fabric a different domain ID than the LACP •...
IRF physical ports and those manually configured to not shut down. If a port must be kept in up state for special purposes such as Telnet connection, exclude it from the shutdown action. To avoid problems, H3C recommends not excluding any ports except the ports used for Telnet and MAD.
By default, no MAD IP address is configured on any VLAN interface. To use BFD MAD, you must configure a MAD IP address on a BFD MAD enabled VLAN interface for each IRF member, and make sure all the MAD IP addresses are on the same subnet. To avoid problems, make sure a BFD MAD-enabled VLAN interface has only IP addresses assigned with the mad ip address command.
No restriction. Make sure the physical ports at both ends of an IRF link are using the same operating mode. For an aggregate IRF link, H3C recommends configuring the same operating mode for all physical IRF ports at both ends.
