NOTE:
•
An IRF link failure can cause an IRF fabric to split into two IRF fabrics operating with the same Layer
3 configurations, such as the same IP address.
•
To avoid IP address collision and network problems, configure at least one MAD mechanism to detect
the presence of multiple identical IRF fabrics and handle collisions. For more information about MAD
detection, see
HP A10500 Switch Series IRF Configuration Guide.
