Summary

IRF overview

IRF benefits

IRF offers simplified topology, easy management, redundancy, link aggregation, and scalability.

Basic concepts

IRF split

IRF split occurs when an IRF fabric breaks up into two or more IRF fabrics due to IRF link failures.

Configuration synchronization mechanism

Master election

Master election is held each time the IRF fabric topology changes.

IRF multi-active detection

LACP MAD

LACP MAD requires IRF members to have links forming a dynamic link aggregation group.

BFD MAD

BFD MAD can work with or without intermediate devices.

ARP MAD

ARP MAD detects multi-active collisions by using extended gratuitous ARP packets.

Configuring IRF

General restrictions and configuration guidelines

This section describes the restrictions and configuration guidelines you must follow.

Software requirements

All IRF member switches must run the same system software image version.

MAD and FIPS Configuration

Setup and configuration task list

Planning the IRF fabric setup

Consider hardware compatibility, fabric size, master switch, physical ports, IDs, priority, topology and cabling.

Assigning member IDs and priorities

Assign unique IRF member IDs and priorities to switches before forming the fabric.

Connecting and binding physical IRF ports

Connect and bind physical ports to IRF ports for establishing IRF links.

Configuring IRF settings

Includes domain ID, member description, load sharing, MAC persistence, and software auto-update.

Excluding a port from the shutdown action upon detection of multi-active collision
