undo port group interface interface-name
View
IRF port view
Default level
3: Manage level
Parameters
interface-type interface-number: Specifies port type and port number.
interface-name: Interface name, in the format of interface-typeinterface-number. No space is allowed
between the interface-type and interface-number arguments.
mode: Sets the operating mode of the physical IRF port when the physical IRF port is bound to an IRF
port.
• enhanced: Sets the physical IRF port to work in the enhanced mode. This keyword is not available
now.
• normal: Sets the physical IRF port to work in the normal mode.
Description
Use the port group interface command to bind a physical port to an IRF port. The IRF port is activated
when you bind the first physical port to it.
Use the undo port group interface command to remove an IRF port binding.
By default, no physical port is bound to any IRF port.
• In IRF mode: Before binding a physical port to an IRF port, shut down the physical port with the
shutdown command, and then execute the port group interface command. Then, bring up the
physical port with the undo shutdown command, and the physical port can establish an IRF
connection as a physical IRF port.
• In standalone mode: You can execute the port group interface command directly, and do not need
to shut down the physical port.
• In IRF mode: Before canceling the binding between a physical port and an IRF port, you must first
shut down the physical port with the shutdown command, and then execute the undo port group
interface command. After that, bring up the physical port with the undo shutdown command, and
then the physical port can forward packets.
• In standalone mode: You can execute the undo port group interface command directly, and do not
need to shut down the physical port.
When you configure this command, if the physical IRF port that is already bound to the IRF port does not
exist because the interface card has been removed, the binding between the two ports still exists. To
remove the binding between the two ports, use the undo port group interface command.
NOTE:
You can bind up to two physical ports to an IRF port, and these two physical ports must be located
on the
same expansion interface module.
