17destination-mac: Distributes packets across IRF member links based on destination MAC address.source-ip: Distributes packets across IRF member links based on source IP address.source-mac: Distributes packets across IRF member links based on source MAC address.Usage guidelinesOn an IRF port that has multiple links, traffic is balanced across its physical links. You can configure theIRF port to distribute traffic based on source IP address, destination IP address, source MAC address,destination address, or a combination of them. If a criteria combination is not supported, the systemdisplays an error message.Configure the global IRF link load sharing mode in system view, and configure a port-specific loadsharing mode in IRF port view. To successfully configure a load sharing mode for an IRF port, make sureyou have bound at least one physical port to the IRF port.An IRF port preferentially uses the port-specific load sharing mode. If no port-specific load sharing modeis available, it uses the global load sharing mode. If no global load sharing mode is configured, thedefault load sharing mode applies.Examples# Configure the global IRF link load sharing mode to distribute traffic based on destination MACaddress. system-view[Sysname] irf-port load-sharing mode destination-mac# Configure IRF port 1/1 to distribute traffic across its physical links based on destination MAC address. system-view[Sysname] irf-port 1/1[Sysname-irf-port1/1] irf-port load-sharing mode destination-macirf-port-configuration activeUse irf-port-configuration active to activate IRF ports.Syntaxirf-port-configuration activeViewsSystem viewDefault command level3: Manage levelUsage guidelinesAfter connecting the physical ports between two switches and bind them to the correct IRF ports, you mustactivate the settings on the IRF ports to merge the two switches into one IRF fabric. After an IRF port isactivated, its link state in the display irf topology command output changes from DIS or DOWN to UP.You do not need to activate the IRF port settings if the configuration file that the switch starts with hasincluded IRF port bindings or you are binding more physical ports to an IRF port after an IRF fabric isformed. The system automatically does the work.Activating IRF port settings can cause IRF merge and device reboot. To avoid configuration loss, followthis procedure to set up your IRF fabric:
