Default level
3: Manage level
Parameters
interface-type interface-number
: Specifies a physical port by its type and number.
interface-name
: Specifies a physical port in the
interface-typeinterface-number
format. No space is
allowed between the
interface-type
and
interface-number
arguments.
Description
Use
port group interface
to bind a physical IRF port to an IRF port.
Use
undo
port group interface
to remove the binding of a physical port and an IRF port.
By default, no physical ports are bound to any IRF port.
Except for combo ports, any fiber or copper Ethernet ports can be used for IRF connection. For more
information about combo ports, see
Interface Configuration Guide
.
In IRF mode, use the
shutdown
command to shut down a physical port before you bind it to or remove it
from an IRF port. To bring up the physical port after a binding or binding removal operation, use the
undo shutdown
command.
In standalone mode, the
shutdown
and
undo shutdown
operations are not required.
Repeat the
port group interface
command to bind up to 12 physical ports to an IRF port for link
redundancy.
The system does not dynamically remove the binding between a physical port and an IRF port even if the
IRF link has been lost. (For example, this situation could occur when the interface card holding the
physical port is removed.) To remove the binding, use the
undo port group interface
command.
