19When you configure ARP MAD that uses management Ethernet ports, follow these restrictions andguidelines:Category Restrictions and guidelinesManagement Ethernetports for ARP MADConnect a management Ethernet port on each member device to thecommon Ethernet ports on the intermediate device.ARP MAD VLANOn the intermediate device, create a VLAN for ARP MAD, and assign theports used for ARP MAD to the VLAN. On the IRF fabric, you do not need toassign the management Ethernet ports to the VLAN.ARP MAD and featureconfiguration• Enable the IRF fabric to change its bridge MAC address as soon as theaddress owner leaves.• If the intermediate device is also an IRF fabric, assign the two IRF fabricsdifferent domain IDs for correct split detection.When you use the mad arp enable command, the system prompts you to enter a domain ID. If youdo not want to change the current domain ID, press enter at the prompt.An IRF fabric has only one IRF domain ID. You can change the IRF domain ID by using the followingcommands: irf domain, mad enable, mad arp enable, or mad nd enable. The IRF domainIDs configured by using these commands overwrite each other.Examples# Enable ARP MAD on VLAN-interface 3. system-view[Sysname] interface vlan-interface 3[Sysname-Vlan-interface3] mad arp enableYou need to assign a domain ID (range: 0-4294967295)[Current domain is: 0]: 1The assigned domain ID is: 1Related commandsirf domainmad bfd enableUse mad bfd enable to enable BFD MAD.Use undo mad bfd enable to disable BFD MAD.Syntaxmad bfd enableundo mad bfd enableDefaultBFD MAD is disabled.ViewsVLAN interface viewLayer 3 aggregate interface viewManagement Ethernet interface viewPredefined user rolesnetwork-admin
