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
Please wait...
Saving the converted configuration file to the main board succeeded.
Slot 1:
Saving the converted configuration file succeeded.
Now rebooting, please wait...
Device B and Device A form an IRF after Device B reboots.

Configure the IRF fabric:
# Enable the spanning tree feature globally on the IRF fabric.
<Sysname> system-view
[Sysname] stp enable
# Configure the bridge MAC address of the IRF fabric to change as soon as the master leaves.
[Sysname] undo irf mac-address persistent
# Set the domain ID of the IRF fabric to 1.
[Sysname] irf domain 1
4.
Configure ARP MAD:
# Create VLAN 3, and add GigabitEthernet 1/4/0/2 and GigabitEthernet 2/4/0/2 to VLAN 3.
[Sysname] vlan 3
[Sysname-vlan3] port gigabitethernet 1/4/0/2 gigabitethernet 2/4/0/2
[Sysname-vlan3] quit
# Create VLAN-interface 3, assign it an IP address, and enable ARP MAD on the interface.
[Sysname] interface vlan-interface 3
[Sysname-Vlan-interface3] mad arp enable
You need to assign a domain ID (range: 0-4294967295)
[Current domain is: 1]:
The assigned
[Sysname-Vlan-interface3] ip address 192.168.2.1 24
5.
Configure Device C as the intermediate device:
CAUTION:
If the intermediate device is also an IRF fabric, assign the two IRF fabrics different domain IDs for
correct split detection. False detection causes IRF split.
# Enable the spanning tree feature globally on Device C.
<DeviceC> system-view
[DeviceC] stp enable
# Create VLAN 3, and add GigabitEthernet 4/0/1 and GigabitEthernet 4/0/2 to VLAN 3.
[DeviceC] vlan 3
[DeviceC-vlan3] port gigabitethernet 4/0/1 gigabitethernet 4/0/2
[DeviceC-vlan3] quit
domain ID is: 1
