Description
Use the irf-fabric authentication-mode command to configure the authentication mode and password
for an IRF fabric.
Use the undo irf-fabric authentication-mode command to remove the IRF fabric authentication
configuration.
By default, no authentication mode is configured on a switch.
IRF fabric authentication is used to ensure the security of the devices accessing it. Only the device
configured with the same authentication mode and password with that of the fabric can access the
current IRF fabric.
Examples
# Set the authentication mode of the IRF fabric to simple, with the password being hello.
<Sysname> system-view
System View: return to User View with Ctrl+Z.
[Sysname] irf-fabric authentication-mode simple hello
port link-type irf-fabric
Syntax
port link-type irf-fabric
View
Ethernet port view
Parameters
None
Description
Use the port link-type command to configure an Ethernet port as the fabric port. This command has
the same function with the fabric-port enable command, and is available only in gigabit port view.
By default, no port is configured as the fabric port.
Note that:
After you use the port link-type irf-fabric command to specify a port as the fabric port, you cannot use
the port link-type command to change the port to a port of other types. You need to use the undo
fabric-port command first to disable the fabric port function of the port to change the port type.
Examples
# Set GigabitEthernet 1/1/1 port as a fabric port.
<Sysname> system-view
System View: return to User View with Ctrl+Z.
[Sysname] interface GigabitEthernet 1/1/1
[Sysname-GigabitEthernet1/1/1] port link-type irf-fabric
