ARP MAD
ARP MAD detects multi-active collisions by using extended gratuitous ARP packets that convey the
IRF domain ID and the active ID.
You can set up ARP MAD links between neighbor IRF member devices, or between each IRF
member device and an intermediate device (see
). If an intermediate device is used, you
must also run the spanning tree feature between the IRF fabric and the intermediate device.
