Configuring IRF link load sharing mode
On an IRF port, traffic is balanced across its physical links.
You can configure the IRF port to distribute traffic based on any combination of the following criteria:
Source IP address
Destination IP address
Source MAC address
Destination MAC address
If a criteria combination is not supported, the system displays an error message.
Configure the IRF link load sharing mode for IRF links in system view or IRF port view.
In system view, the configuration is global and takes effect on all IRF ports.
In IRF port view, the configuration is port specific and takes effect only on the specified IRF port.
An IRF port preferentially uses the port-specific load sharing mode. If no port-specific load sharing
mode is available, an IRF port uses the global load sharing mode.
Configuring the global load sharing mode
Step Command Remarks
1. Enter system view.

2. Configure the global
IRF link load sharing
mode.

By default, the switch
automatically distributes traffic
based on their packet type.

physical ports to the IRF port.
