Usage guidelines 
LACP MAD handles collisions differently than ARP MAD and ND MAD. To avoid conflicts, do not 
enable LACP MAD together with ARP MAD or ND MAD on an IRF fabric. 
LACP MAD requires a device that supports extended LACPDUs for MAD to act as the intermediate 
device.  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. 
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.  
<Sysname> system-view 
[Sysname] interface bridge-aggregation 1 
[Sysname-Bridge-Aggregation1] link-aggregation mode dynamic 
[Sysname-Bridge-Aggregation1] mad enable 
You need to assign a domain ID (range: 0-4294967295) 
[Current domain ID is: 0]: 1 
The assigned domain ID is: 1 
# Enable LACP MAD on Route-Aggregation 1, a Layer 3 dynamic aggregate interface. 
<Sysname> system-view
