23undo mad exclude interface interface-type interface-numberDefaultExcept for the service interfaces automatically excluded by the system, all service interfaces are shutdown when the IRF fabric transits to the Recovery state. The system automatically excludes thefollowing service interfaces from being shut down:• IRF physical interfaces.• Interfaces used for BFD MAD.• Member interfaces of an aggregate interface if the aggregate interface is excluded from beingshut down.ViewsSystem viewPredefined user rolesnetwork-adminParametersinterface-type interface-number: Specifies a service interface by its type and number.Usage guidelinesIf an interface must be kept in up state for special purposes such as Telnet connection, exclude theinterface from the shutdown action. As a best practice to avoid incorrect traffic forwarding, do notexclude any interfaces except the interfaces used for Telnet.The interfaces that have been shut down by MAD come up when the member devices reboot to jointhe recovered IRF fabric. If the active IRF fabric fails before the IRF link is recovered, use the madrestore command on the inactive IRF fabric to recover the inactive IRF fabric. This command alsobrings up all interfaces that were shut down by MAD.Examples# Exclude Ten-GigabitEthernet 1/0/1 from being shut down when the MAD status transits toRecovery. system-view[Sysname] mad exclude interface ten-gigabitethernet 1/0/1Related commandsmad restoremad ip addressUse mad ip address to assign a MAD IP address to an IRF member device for BFD MAD.Use undo mad ip address to delete the MAD IP address for an IRF member device.Syntaxmad ip address ip-address { mask | mask-length } member member-idundo mad ip address ip-address { mask | mask-length } member member-idDefaultNo MAD IP address is configured for an IRF member device.ViewsVLAN interface viewLayer 3 aggregate interface view
