CAUTION:
Excluding a VLAN interface and its Layer 2 ports from the shutdown action introduces IP collision
risks because the VLAN interface might be active on both the IRF fabric in Active state and the IRF
fabric in Recovery state.
To configure a port to not shut down when the IRF fabric transits to the Recovery state:
Step Command Remarks
1. Enter system view.
system-view
N/A
2. Configure a port to not shut
down when the IRF fabric
transits to the Recovery
state.
mad exclude interface
interface-type interface-number
By default, all network ports on
a Recovery-state IRF fabric are
shut down, except for the IRF
physical ports and console port.
Recovering an IRF fabric
After the failed IRF link between two split IRF fabrics is recovered, log in to the Recovery-state IRF
fabric. Use the reboot command to reboot all the members in the IRF fabric. After these member
switches join the Active-state IRF fabric as subordinates, IRF merge is complete, as shown in Figure
11.
Figure 11
Recovering the IRF fabric
If the Active-state fabric has failed, for example, because of device or link failures, before the IRF link
is recovered (see Figure 12), use the mad restore co
mmand on the Recovery-state fabric to change
its state to Active for forwarding traffic. After you repair the IRF link, the two parts merge into a unified
IRF fabric.
