Field Description 
Current MAD status 
MAD status: 
•  Detect—The IRF virtual device is normal, and MAD is detecting 
multi-active collisions.  
•  Recovery—The IRF virtual device is in recovery state. When detecting a 
multi-active collision, MAD places the IRF virtual device with higher 
master ID in recovery state and shuts down all physical ports in the 
device but the IRF ports and the ports that are configured not to shut 
down. 
•  Detect to Recovery—The state of the IRF virtual device is transitioning 
from detect to recovery, for example, as a result of IRF partition. 
•  Recovery to Detect—The state of the IRF virtual device is transitioning 
from recovery to detect when the failed IRF link is detected recovered. 
Excluded ports(configurable) 
The ports manually configured not to shut down when the IRF virtual device 
transitions to the recovery state.  
Excluded ports(can not be 
configured) 
The ports set by default not to shut down when the IRF virtual device 
transitions to the recovery state. 
MAD ARP enabled interface: 
  Vlan-interface2 
The interface where ARP MAD is enabled. 
MAD enabled aggregation port: 
  Bridge-Aggregation1 
The aggregate interface where LACP MAD is enabled.

Parameters 
slot member-id: Specifies the ID of an IRF member switch. With this argument, the command displays the 
master/slave switchover state of the specified member. Without this argument, the command displays the 
master/slave switchover state of the master. 
|: Filters command output by specifying a regular expression. For more information about regular 
expressions, see CLI configuration in the Fundamentals Configuration Guide. 
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, which is a case sensitive string of 1 to 256 characters.
