IRF physical ports must be set to the bridge mode.
•
When you bind physical ports to an IRF port, you must set all the physical ports to operate in either
normal
or
enhanced
mode.
•
The physical ports of two connected IRF ports must operate in the same mode:
normal
or
enhanced
.
For more information about the binding mode of the IRF physical ports, see

•
When you assign a port to an aggregation group, the recommended configuration procedure is as
follows:
a.
Use the
display this
command in interface view to check the following attribute configurations
of the port:
−
Port isolation.
−
QinQ.
−
VLAN.
−
VLAN mapping.
b.
If any of the above configurations exist, use the
undo
forms of the corresponding commands to
remove these configurations. This enables the port to use the default attribute configurations.
c.
Assign the port to the aggregation group.
•
In a static aggregation group, the Selected state of a port is not affected by whether the peer port
is added to an aggregation group and is Selected. As a result, the Selected state of a port might be
different from the Selected state of the peer port. When both ends support static aggregation and
dynamic aggregation, H3C recommends using dynamic aggregation.
•
You cannot assign a port to a Layer 2 aggregation group when MAC authentication, port security
mode, or 802.1X is configured or enabled on the port.
Configuration procedures
1.
Configure IRF on Device A:
# Shut down ports Ten-GigabitEthernet 1/0/1 through Ten-GigabitEthernet 1/0/4.
# Assign member ID 1 to Device A.
[DeviceA] irf member 1
# Bind Ten-GigabitEthernet 1/0/1 to IRF port 1.
[DeviceA] irf-port 1
[DeviceA-irf-port1] port group interface ten-gigabitethernet 1/0/1
[DeviceA-irf-port1] quit
# Save the configuration
[DeviceA] quit
<DeviceA> save
# Enable IRF mode.
<DeviceA> system-view
[DeviceA] chassis convert mode irf
The device will switch to IRF mode and reboot.
You are recommended to save the current running configuration and specify the
configuration file for the next startup. Continue? [Y/N]:y
Do you want to convert the content of the next startup configuration file
flash:/startup.cfg to make it available in IRF mode? [Y/N]:y
