Table 6 Command output

Field

Description

Multi-active recovery state

Whether the IRF fabric is in Recovery state.

·     Yes—The IRF fabric is in Recovery state. When MAD detects that an IRF fabric has split into multiple IRF fabrics, it allows one fabric to forward traffic. All the other IRF fabrics are set to the Recovery state. In Recovery state, MAD shuts down all physical ports in the fabric except for the IRF physical interfaces and ports configured to not shut down.

·     No—The IRF fabric is not in Recovery state. The fabric is active and can forward traffic.

Excluded ports (user-configured)

Ports manually configured to not shut down when the IRF fabric transits to the Recovery state.

Excluded ports (system-configured)

Ports set to not shut down by default when the IRF fabric transits to the Recovery state.

MAD status

MAD link status:

·     Normal—The MAD link is operating correctly.

·     Faulty—The MAD link is faulty. Check the interface or port for connectivity or configuration problems.

·     N/A—MAD link status cannot be detected. This field always displays N/A if BFD MAD is enabled on a management Ethernet port.

Member ID

IRF member ID of the local device.

Port

Member ports of the aggregate interface used for LACP MAD.

Neighbor

IRF member ID of the neighbor member device.

 

irf auto-update enable

Use irf auto-update enable to enable the software auto-update feature.

Use undo irf auto-update enable to disable the software auto-update feature.

Syntax

irf auto-update enable

undo irf auto-update enable

Default

The software auto-update feature is enabled.

Views

System view

Predefined user roles

network-admin

Usage guidelines

This command automatically propagates the current software images of the master device in the IRF fabric to any devices you are adding to the IRF fabric.

To ensure a successful software update, verify that the new device you are adding to the IRF fabric has sufficient storage space for the new software images. If sufficient storage space is not available, the device automatically deletes the current software images. If the reclaimed space is still insufficient, the device cannot complete the auto-update. You must reboot the device, and then access the BootWare menus to delete files.

You must manually update the new device with the software images running on the IRF fabric if software auto-update is disabled.

Examples

# Enable the software auto-update feature.

<Sysname> system-view

[Sysname] irf auto-update enable

irf domain

Use irf domain to assign a domain ID to an IRF fabric.

Use undo irf domain to restore the default IRF domain setting.

Syntax

irf domain domain-id

undo irf domain

Default

The IRF domain ID is 0.

Views

System view

Predefined user roles

network-admin

Parameters

domain-id: Specifies a domain ID for the IRF fabric. The value range is 0 to 4294967295.

Usage guidelines

One IRF fabric forms one IRF domain. IRF uses IRF domain IDs to uniquely identify IRF fabrics and prevent IRF fabrics from interfering with one another.

If one IRF fabric uses another IRF fabric as the intermediate device for LACP MAD, ARP MAD or ND MAD, you must assign the two IRF fabrics different domain IDs for correct split detection. False detection causes IRF split.

An IRF fabric has only one IRF domain ID. You can change the IRF domain ID by using the following commands: irf domain, mad enable, mad arp enable, or mad nd enable. The IRF domain IDs configured by using these commands overwrite each other.

Examples

# Set the IRF domain ID to 30.

<Sysname> system-view

[Sysname] irf domain 30

irf link-delay

Use irf link-delay to set a delay for the IRF ports to report a link down event.

Use undo irf link-delay to restore the default.

Syntax

irf link-delay interval

undo irf link-delay

Default

The IRF link down event report delay is 1 second.

Views

System view

Predefined user roles

network-admin

Parameters

interval: Sets the IRF link down report delay in the range of 0 to 10000 milliseconds. If the interval is set to 0, link down events are reported without any delay. The greater the interval, the slower the service recovery.

Usage guidelines

If the CFD or BFD feature is used in the IRF fabric, make sure the delay interval is shorter than the maximum CCM lifetime and BFD session lifetime. For more information about CFD and BFD, see High Availability Configuration Guide.

As a best practice, set the delay to 0 seconds in the following situations:

·     The IRF fabric requires a quick master/subordinate or IRF link switchover.

·     The BFD, BFD MAD, GR, or RRPP feature is used.

Examples

# Set the IRF link down report delay to 300 milliseconds.

<Sysname> system-view

[Sysname] irf link-delay 300

irf mac-address persistent

Use irf mac-address persistent to configure IRF bridge MAC persistence.

Use undo irf mac-address persistent to enable the IRF fabric to change its bridge MAC address as soon as the address owner leaves.

Syntax

irf mac-address persistent { always | timer }

undo irf mac-address persistent

Default

Bridge MAC address of the IRF fabric does not change after the address owner leaves.

Views

System view

Predefined user roles

network-admin

Parameters

always: Enables the IRF bridge MAC address to be permanent. The IRF bridge MAC address does not change after the address owner leaves.

timer: Enables the IRF bridge MAC address to remain unchanged for 6 minutes after the address owner leaves. If the address owner rejoins the IRF fabric within the time limit, the IRF bridge MAC address does not change. If the address owner does not rejoin within the time limit, the IRF fabric uses the bridge MAC address of the current master as the bridge MAC address.

Usage guidelines

IRF bridge MAC persistence specifies the amount of time an IRF fabric can continue using a bridge MAC address as its bridge MAC address after the address owner leaves.

To prevent traffic interruption, follow these restrictions and guidelines:

·     If ARP MAD or ND MAD is used, execute the undo irf mac-address persistent command to disable IRF bridge MAC persistence.

·     If TRILL is configured, configure the irf mac-address persistent always command to disable IRF bridge MAC change. The persistence setting ensures that other devices in the TRILL network can maintain correct network topology after the address owner leaves.

If two IRF fabrics have the same bridge MAC address, they cannot merge.

Examples

# Enable the IRF bridge MAC address to be permanent.

<Sysname> system-view

[Sysname] irf mac-address persistent always

irf member description

Use irf member description to configure a description for an IRF member device.

Use undo irf member description to restore the default.

Predefined user roles

network-admin

Parameters

member-id: Specifies an IRF member ID in the range of 1 to 10.

priority: Sets a 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.

Usage guidelines

The new priority setting takes effect at the next master election, but it does not trigger a master election.

Examples

# Set the priority of IRF member 2 to 32.

<Sysname> system-view

[Sysname] irf member 2 priority 32

irf member renumber

Use irf member renumber to change the IRF member ID of a device.

Use undo irf member renumber to restore the previous IRF member ID of the device.

Syntax

Predefined user roles

network-admin

Parameters

member-id: Specifies the ID of an IRF member device, in the range of 1 to 10.

new-member-id: Assigns a new ID to the IRF member device, in the range of 1 to 10.

Usage guidelines

CAUTION

CAUTION:

An IRF member ID change can invalidate member ID-related settings, including interface and file path settings, and cause data loss. Make sure you fully understand its impact on your live network.

 

The new IRF member ID, including the one set by using the undo irf member renumber command, takes effect after you reboot the member device.

Interchanging member IDs between IRF member devices might cause undesirable configuration changes and data loss. For example, the IRF member IDs of Device A and Device B are 2 and 3, respectively. After you interchange their member IDs, their port settings also interchange.

Examples

# Change the member ID of an IRF member from 2 to 4.

<Sysname> system-view

[Sysname] irf member 2 renumber 4

Renumbering the member ID may result in configuration change or loss. Continue?[Y/N]y

# Before rebooting the device, cancel the change in the preceding example.

[Sysname] undo irf member 2 renumber

Renumbering the member ID may result in configuration change or loss. Continue?[Y/N]y

If you reboot the device after executing the irf member 2 renumber 4 command, the device member ID changes to 4 at system reboot. Using undo irf member 2 renumber cannot restore the member ID to 2.

irf-port

Use irf-port to enter IRF port view.

Use undo irf-port to removing all port bindings on an IRF port.

Syntax

Syntax

irf-port global load-sharing mode { destination-ip | destination-mac | ingress-port | source-ip | source-mac } *

undo irf-port global load-sharing mode

Default

The following are criteria for distributing different types of packets across IRF links:

·     TCP/UDP packets—Source and destination TCP/UDP port numbers.

·     Non-TCP/-UDP IP packets—Source and destination IP addresses.

·     Non-IP packets (packets without an IP header)—Source and destination MAC addresses.

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.

ingress-port: Distributes packets across IRF member links based on incoming port. This keyword is not supported in the current software version.

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.

Usage guidelines

The global IRF link load sharing mode applies to all IRF ports in the IRF fabric. You can configure the sharing mode to include a combination of multiple criteria for making traffic distribution decisions. If your device does not support a criterion combination, the system displays an error message.

If you configure the global load sharing mode multiple times, the most recent configuration takes effect.

You can also configure a port-specific load sharing mode for an IRF port in IRF port view by using the irf-port load-sharing mode command.

An IRF port preferentially uses the port-specific load sharing mode. If no port-specific load sharing mode is available, the port uses the global load sharing mode.

Examples

# Configure the global IRF link load sharing mode to distribute traffic based on destination MAC address.

<Sysname> system-view

[Sysname] irf-port global load-sharing mode destination-mac

Related commands

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.

ingress-port: Distributes packets across IRF member links based on incoming port. This keyword is not supported in the current software version.

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.

Usage guidelines

To successfully configure a port-specific load sharing mode for an IRF port, make sure you have bound a minimum of one physical interface to the IRF port.

You can configure an IRF port-specific load sharing mode to include a combination of multiple criteria for making traffic distribution decisions. If your device does not support a criterion combination, the system displays an error message.

If you configure the port-specific load sharing mode multiple times on an IRF port, the most recent configuration takes effect.

An IRF port preferentially uses the port-specific load sharing mode. If no port-specific load sharing mode is available, the port uses the global load sharing mode.

Examples

# Configure a port-specific load sharing mode for IRF-port 1/1 to distribute traffic based on destination MAC address.

Predefined user roles

network-admin

Usage guidelines

After connecting the physical interfaces between two devices and binding them to the correct IRF ports, you must use this command to activate the settings on the IRF ports. This command merges the two devices into one IRF fabric.

The system activates the IRF port settings automatically in the following situations:

·     The configuration file that the device starts with contains IRF port bindings.

·     You are binding physical interfaces to an IRF port after an IRF fabric is formed.

Examples

To configure and activate IRF-port 1/2:

# Bind Ten-GigabitEthernet 1/1/7 to IRF-port 1/2.

<Sysname> system-view

[Sysname] interface ten-gigabitEthernet 1/1/7

[Sysname-Ten-GigabitEthernet1/1/7] shutdown

[Sysname-Ten-GigabitEthernet1/1/7] quit

[Sysname] irf-port 1/2

[Sysname-irf-port1/2] port group interface ten-gigabitethernet 1/1/7

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-port1/2] quit

[Sysname] interface ten-gigabitEthernet 1/1/7

[Sysname-Ten-GigabitEthernet1/1/7] undo shutdown

[Sysname-Ten-GigabitEthernet1/1/7] quit

Usage guidelines

ARP MAD detects multi-active collisions by using extended ARP packets.

You can use ARP MAD with ND MAD, but not with LACP MAD or BFD MAD.

·     ARP MAD handles collisions differently than LACP MAD.

·     ARP MAD requires the spanning tree feature, but BFD MAD is exclusive with the spanning tree feature.

When you configure ARP MAD that uses common Ethernet ports, follow these restrictions and guidelines:

 

Category

Restrictions and guidelines

ARP MAD VLAN

·     Do not enable ARP MAD on VLAN-interface 1.

·     If you are using an intermediate device, perform the following tasks on both the IRF fabric and the intermediate device:

¡     Create a VLAN and VLAN interface for ARP MAD.

¡     Assign the ports of ARP MAD links to the ARP MAD VLAN.

·     As a best practice, do not use the ARP MAD VLAN for any other purposes.

ARP MAD and feature configuration

If an intermediate device is used, make sure the following requirements are met:

·     Run the spanning tree feature between the IRF fabric and the intermediate device to ensure that there is only one ARP MAD link in forwarding state. For more information about the spanning tree feature and its configuration, see Layer 2—LAN Switching Configuration Guide.

·     Enable the IRF fabric to change its bridge MAC address as soon as the address owner leaves.

·     If the intermediate device is also an IRF fabric, assign the two IRF fabrics different domain IDs for correct split detection.

 

When you configure ARP MAD that uses management Ethernet ports, follow these restrictions and guidelines:

 

Category

Restrictions and guidelines

Ports on the intermediate device for ARP MAD

Use common Ethernet ports on the intermediate device to connect the management Ethernet ports on the IRF fabric.

ARP MAD VLAN

On the intermediate device, create a VLAN for ARP MAD, and assign the ports used for ARP MAD to the VLAN. On the IRF fabric, you do not need to assign the management Ethernet ports to the VLAN.

ARP MAD and feature configuration

·     Enable the IRF fabric to change its bridge MAC address as soon as the address owner leaves.

·     If the intermediate device is also an IRF fabric, assign the two IRF fabrics different domain IDs for correct split detection.

 

When you use the mad arp enable command, the system prompts you to enter a domain ID. If you do not want to change the current domain ID, press enter at the prompt.

 

 

NOTE:

An IRF fabric has only one IRF domain ID. You can change the IRF domain ID by using the following commands: irf domain, mad enable, mad arp enable, or mad nd enable. The IRF domain IDs configured by using these commands overwrite each other.

 

Examples

# Enable ARP MAD on VLAN-interface 3.

Usage guidelines

BFD MAD uses the BFD protocol to detect multi-active collisions. This MAD mechanism can work with or without intermediate devices.

You cannot use BFD MAD with LACP MAD, ARP MAD, or ND MAD.

·     BFD MAD handles collisions differently than LACP MAD.

·     BFD MAD is exclusive with the spanning tree feature, but ARP MAD and ND MAD require the spanning tree feature.

When you configure BFD MAD on a VLAN interface, follow these guidelines:

 

Category

Restrictions and guidelines

BFD MAD VLAN

·     Do not enable BFD MAD on VLAN-interface 1.

·     If you are using an intermediate device, create the VLAN and VLAN interface on both the IRF fabric and the intermediate device. Assign the ports of BFD MAD links to the BFD MAD VLAN on both the IRF fabric and the intermediate device.

·     Make sure the IRF fabrics on the network use different BFD MAD VLANs.

BFD MAD VLAN and feature compatibility

Do not use the BFD MAD VLAN for any purpose other than configuring BFD MAD.

·     Configure only the mad bfd enable and mad ip address commands on the BFD MAD-enabled VLAN interface. If you configure other features, both BFD MAD and other features on the interface might run incorrectly.

·     Disable the spanning tree feature on any Layer 2 Ethernet ports in the BFD MAD VLAN. The MAD feature is mutually exclusive with the spanning tree feature.

·     Do not bind a BFD MAD-enabled VLAN interface to a VPN instance. The MAD feature is mutually exclusive with VPN.

MAD IP address

·     To avoid problems, only use the mad ip address command to configure IP addresses on the BFD MAD-enabled VLAN interface. Do not configure an IP address by using the ip address command or configure a VRRP virtual address on the BFD MAD-enabled VLAN interface.

·     Make sure all the MAD IP addresses are on the same subnet.

·     MAD IP addresses must be unique among all IP addresses on the IRF fabric.

BFD MAD and IRF link down report delay restrictions

Set the IRF link down report delay to 0 seconds to avoid unnecessary recalculations.

 

When you use BFD MAD on management Ethernet ports, follow these restrictions and guidelines:

Restrictions and guidelines

Ports on the intermediate device for BFD MAD

If you are using an intermediate device, use common Ethernet ports on the intermediate device to set up BFD MAD links.

BFD MAD VLAN

·     On the intermediate device (if any), create a VLAN for BFD MAD, and assign the ports used for BFD MAD to the VLAN. On the IRF fabric, you do not need to assign the BFD MAD-enabled management Ethernet ports to the VLAN.

·     As a best practice, do not configure other features on the VLAN used for BFD MAD for successful detection.

·     Make sure the IRF fabrics on the network use different BFD MAD VLANs.

BFD MAD-enabled management Ethernet port and feature compatibility

Do not bind a BFD MAD-enabled management Ethernet port to a VPN instance. The MAD feature is mutually exclusive with VPN.

MAD IP address

·     Use the mad ip address command instead of the ip address command to configure MAD IP addresses on the BFD MAD-enabled management Ethernet ports.

·     Make sure all the MAD IP addresses are on the same subnet.

·     MAD IP addresses must be unique among all IP addresses on the IRF fabric.

BFD MAD and IRF link down report delay restrictions

Set the IRF link down report delay to 0 seconds to avoid unnecessary recalculations.

Default

LACP MAD is disabled.

Views

Aggregate interface view

Predefined user roles

network-admin

Usage guidelines

LACP MAD uses extended LACP packets to detect multi-active collisions. This MAD mechanism requires an intermediate H3C device that supports extended LACPDUs.

LACP MAD handles collisions differently than BFD MAD, ARP MAD, and ND MAD. To avoid conflicts, do not enable LACP MAD together with any of those mechanisms in an IRF fabric.

You must set up a dynamic link aggregation group that spans all IRF member devices between the IRF fabric and the intermediate device. To enable dynamic link aggregation, configure the link-aggregation mode dynamic command on the aggregate interface.

If one IRF fabric uses another IRF fabric as the intermediate device for LACP MAD, you must assign the two IRF fabrics different domain IDs for correct split detection. False detection causes IRF split.

When you use the mad enable command, the system prompts you to enter a domain ID. If you do not want to change the current domain ID, press enter at the prompt.

 

 

NOTE:

An IRF fabric has only one IRF domain ID. You can change the IRF domain ID by using the following commands: irf domain, mad enable, mad arp enable, or mad nd enable. The IRF domain IDs configured by using these commands overwrite each other.

 

Examples

# Enable LACP MAD on Bridge-Aggregation 1, a Layer 2 dynamic aggregate interface.

mad exclude interface

Use mad exclude interface to exclude a physical network port from being shut down when the IRF fabric transits to the Recovery state upon detection of a multi-active collision.

Use undo mad exclude interface to restore the default MAD action on a physical network port.

Syntax

mad exclude interface interface-type interface-number

undo mad exclude interface interface-type interface-number

Default

All physical network ports but the IRF physical interfaces and console port shut down when the IRF fabric transits to the Recovery state.

Views

System view

Predefined user roles

network-admin

Parameters

interface-type interface-number: Specifies a port by its type and number.

Usage guidelines

MAD action is not configurable for IRF physical interfaces.

When MAD detects a multi-active collision, it sets all IRF fabrics except one to the Recovery state. The fabric that is not placed in Recovery state can continue to forward traffic. The Recovery-state IRF fabrics are inactive. MAD shuts down all their physical ports except the IRF physical interfaces and the ports manually configured to not shut down.

If a port must be kept in up state for special purposes such as Telnet connection, exclude the port from the shutdown action. As a best practice to avoid incorrect traffic forwarding, do not exclude any ports except for the ports used for Telnet and MAD. However, do not exclude the VLAN interface of BFD MAD and its Layer 2 member ports from being shut down.

The ports that have shut down by MAD come up when the member devices reboot to join the recovered IRF fabric. If auto recovery fails because the current master fails or any other exception occurs, use the mad restore command to manually recover the member devices and bring up the ports.

 Examples

# Exclude Ten-GigabitEthernet 1/1/1 from being shut down when the MAD status transits to Recovery.

<Sysname> system-view

[Sysname] mad exclude interface ten-gigabitethernet 1/1/1

mad ip address

Use mad ip address to assign a MAD IP address to an IRF member device for BFD MAD.

Use undo mad ip address to delete the MAD IP address for an IRF member device.

Syntax

mad ip address ip-address { mask | mask-length } member member-id

undo mad ip address ip-address { mask | mask-length } member member-id

Default

No MAD IP address is configured for an IRF member device.

Views

Management Ethernet interface view, VLAN interface view

Predefined user roles

network-admin

Parameters

ip-address: Specifies an IP address in dotted decimal notation. This IP address is bound to an IRF member for BFD detection and is called a MAD IP address.

mask: Specifies a subnet mask in dotted decimal notation.

mask-length: Specifies a subnet mask in length, in the range of 0 to 32.

member member-id: Specifies an IRF member ID.

Usage guidelines

To use BFD MAD, configure a MAD IP address for each IRF member. Make sure all the MAD IP addresses are on the same subnet and are unique among all IP addresses on the IRF fabric.

To avoid problems, only use the mad ip address command to configure MAD IP addresses. Do not configure a MAD IP address by using the ip address command or configure a VRRP virtual address.

The master attempts to establish BFD sessions with other members by using its MAD IP address as the source IP address.

·     When the IRF fabric is integrated, only the MAD IP address of the master takes effect. The master cannot establish a BFD session with any other member. If you execute the display bfd session command, the state of the BFD sessions is Down.

·     When the IRF fabric splits, the IP addresses of the masters in the partitioned IRF fabrics take effect. The masters can establish a BFD session. If you execute the display bfd session command, the state of the BFD session between the two devices is Up.

Examples

# Assign a MAD IP address to IRF member 1 on VLAN-interface 3.

<Sysname> system-view

[Sysname] interface vlan-interface 3

[Sysname-Vlan-interface3] mad ip address 192.168.0.1 255.255.255.0 member 1

Use undo mad nd enable to disable ND MAD.

Syntax

mad nd enable

Default

ND MAD is disabled.

Views

VLAN interface view

Predefined user roles

network-admin

Usage guidelines

ND MAD uses extended NS packets of the IPv6 ND protocol to detect multi-active collisions.

You can use ND MAD with ARP MAD, but not with LACP MAD or BFD MAD.

·     ND MAD handles collisions differently than LACP MAD.

·     ND MAD requires the spanning tree feature, but BFD MAD is exclusive with the spanning tree feature.

Do not configure ND MAD on VLAN-interface 1.

You can set up ND MAD links between neighbor IRF member devices, or between each IRF member device and an intermediate device.

If one IRF fabric uses another IRF fabric as the intermediate device for ND MAD, you must assign the two IRF fabrics different domain IDs for correct split detection. False detection causes IRF split.

When you use the mad nd enable command, the system prompts you to enter a domain ID. If you do not want to change the current domain ID, press enter at the prompt.

 

 

NOTE:

An IRF fabric has only one IRF domain ID. You can change the IRF domain ID by using the following commands: irf domain, mad enable, mad arp enable, or mad nd enable. The IRF domain IDs configured by using these commands overwrite each other.

 

Examples

# Enable ND MAD on VLAN-interface 3.

Predefined user roles

network-admin

Usage guidelines

When MAD detects a multi-active collision, it sets all IRF fabrics except one to the Recovery state. The fabric that is not placed in Recovery state can continue to forward traffic. The Recovery-state IRF fabrics are inactive. MAD shuts down all their physical ports except the IRF physical interfaces and the ports manually configured to not shut down.

If the active IRF fabric has failed to work before the IRF split problem is fixed, use this command to restore an IRF fabric in Recovery state. The recovered IRF fabric will take over the active IRF fabric role.

Examples

# Restore the normal MAD state of the IRF fabric in Recovery state.

Parameters

mdc mdc-name: Specifies an MDC name, a case-sensitive string of 1 to 15 characters. This option is not supported in the current software version.

interface-type interface-number: Specifies a physical interface by its type and number.

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. If you do not specify this keyword, the command binds the physical interface to an IRF port in enhanced mode.

·     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 not supported in the current software version.

Usage guidelines

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.

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 expansion interface card 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.

Parameters

interface-type interface-number: Specifies a physical interface by its type and number. Available interfaces include SFP+ and QSFP+ ports.

interface-name: Specifies a physical interface in the interface-typeinterface-number format. No space is allowed between the interface-type and interface-number arguments.

Usage guidelines

You can assign a maximum of six physical interfaces to the PEX port for a PEX. The physical interfaces are aggregated automatically for backup and load balancing. The default configuration is automatically restored on the interfaces after the assignment.

You must connect a PEX port's all physical interfaces to the same PEX.

If a physical interface has been assigned to a PEX port, you cannot assign the interface to any other PEX port.

Make sure the PEX physical interfaces at the two ends of a PEX link are at the same rate.

A PEX port must have a minimum of one physical interface in Forwarding state for its PEX to communicate with the parent device correctly. If a PEX port has only one physical interface in Forwarding state, the PEX will reboot when any of the following events occur:

·     The interface is removed from the PEX port.

·     The interface goes down.

Examples

# Assign the physical interfaces Ten-GigabitEthernet 1/2/1 through Ten-GigabitEthernet 1/2/4 to PEX port 3.

<Sysname> system-view

[Sysname] interface range ten-gigabitethernet 1/2/1 to ten-gigabitethernet 1/2/4

[Sysname-if-range] shutdown

[Sysname] pex-port 3

[Sysname-pex-port3] port group interface ten-gigabitethernet 1/2/1

[Sysname-pex-port3] port group interface ten-gigabitethernet 1/2/2

[Sysname-pex-port3] port group interface ten-gigabitethernet 1/2/3

[Sysname-pex-port3] port group interface ten-gigabitethernet 1/2/4

[Sysname-pex-port3] quit

[Sysname] interface range ten-gigabitethernet 1/2/1 to ten-gigabitethernet 1/2/4

[Sysname-if-range] undo shutdown
