Binding physical ports to IRF ports
To establish an IRF connection between two devices, you must bind at least one physical port to
IRF-port 1 on one device and to IRF-port 2 on the other. For link redundancy and load sharing, bind
multiple physical ports to one IRF port.
When you bind physical ports to IRF ports, follow the restrictions in "IRF port binding restrictions."
On a p
hysical port that has been bound to an IRF port, you can only use the cfd, default, shutdown,
description, and flow-interval commands. For more information about these commands, see Layer
2—LAN Switching Command Reference.
To bind physical ports to IRF ports:
