Configuring HP Networking IRF - Intelligent Resilient Framework (IRF)

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Step 1: Login to the switch through the console port

Step 2: Ensure that both switches are running the same software version

<H3C>system view
[H3C]display version

Step 3: Reset the configuration of the switches.

<H3C>reset saved-configuration
<H3C>reboot

Step 4: Assign a unit number to each S5800. Switch 1 or 2. (Later you will see the unit number on the right side the switch on t

On unit 1:
[H3C]irf member 1 renumber 1
Warning: Renumbering the switch number may result in configuration change or loss. Continue?[Y/N]:y

On unit 2:
[H3C]irf member 1 renumber 2
Warning: Renumbering the switch number may result in configuration change or loss. Continue?[Y/N]:y

Step 5: Save the configuration and reboot the switches

[H3C]quit
<H3C>save irf.cfg
<H3C>startup saved-configuration irf.cfg
<H3C>reboot

Step 6: Setting priority on Master S5800.

On unit 1:
[H3C]irf member 1 priority 32

Step 7: Shutdown the 10 Gbps port that will form the IRF Group (on both switches)

On Unit 1:
[H3C] int TenGigabitEthernet 1/0/25
[H3C-Ten-GigabitEthernet1/0/25] shutdown
[H3C] int TenGigabitEthernet 1/0/26
[H3C-Ten-GigabitEthernet1/0/26] shutdown

On Unit 2:
[H3C] int TenGigabitEthernet 2/0/27
[H3C-Ten-GigabitEthernet2/0/27] shutdown
[H3C] int TenGigabitEthernet 2/0/28
[H3C-Ten-GigabitEthernet2/0/28] shutdown

Step 8: Assign the 10 Gbps port to an IRF port group

On Unit 1:
[H3C]irf-port 1/1
[H3C-irf-port]port group interface TenGigabitEthernet 1/0/25
[H3C-irf-port]port group interface TenGigabitEthernet 1/0/26
[H3C-irf-port]quit

On Unit 2:
[H3C]irf-port 2/2
[H3C-irf-port]port group interface TenGigabitEthernet 2/0/27
[H3C-irf-port]port group interface TenGigabitEthernet 2/0/28
[H3C-irf-port]quit

Step 9: Enable the 10 Gbps ports that will form the IRF (on both switches)
On unit 1:
[H3C]int TenGigabitEthernet 1/0/25
[H3C-Ten-GigabitEthernet1/0/25]undo shutdown
[H3C]int TenGigabitEthernet 1/0/26
[H3C-Ten-GigabitEthernet1/0/26]undo shutdown

On unit 2:
[H3C]int TenGigabitEthernet 2/0/27
[H3C-Ten-GigabitEthernet2/0/25]undo shutdown
[H3C]int TenGigabitEthernet 2/0/28
[H3C-Ten-GigabitEthernet2/0/26]undo shutdown

Step 10: Activate the IRF Port Configuration (on both switches)
[H3C]irf-port-configuration active

Step 11: Save the configuration

[H3C]quit
<H3C>save

Step 12: Connect the 2 10GbE Direct Attach Cables (DACs) as Shown in the IRF Diagram
NOTE: The secondary switch (unit 2) will now reboot automatically.

Step 13: The IRF stack should now be formed. Verify IRF operation

Step 14: Save the configuration

Configure LACP MAD on the IRF fabric:
# Set the domain ID of the IRF fabric to 1.
<Sysname> system-view
[Sysname] irf domain 1
# Create a dynamic aggregate interface and enable LACP MAD.
[Sysname] interface bridge-aggregation 2
[Sysname-Bridge-Aggregation2] link-aggregation mode dynamic
[Sysname-Bridge-Aggregation2] mad enable
You need to assign a domain ID (range: 0-4294967295)
[Current domain is: 1]:
The assigned domain ID is: 1
Info: MAD LACP only enable on dynamic aggregation interface.
