  • 1.  HP A5500-48G EI IRF-port aggregation problem

    Posted Mar 29, 2011 06:01 PM

    I have two A5500-48G EI switches that I need to stack. I use two-port 10G modules and CX4 cables. IRF is established, and everything is ok while I use one connection between the switches only. As soon as I connect the second CX4 cable, everything stops working.

    Actually, I would like to aggregate two physical ports for each irf-port. In the master switch 10G module is at module position 1, physical ports 1 and 2 are dedicated to irf-port 1; and in the slave 10G module is at positon 2, physical ports 3 and 4 are dedicated to irf-port 2. So, if I connect one cable between the irf-ports only it is ok, if I connect both cables, it doesn't work. I'm not sure if this config is right?

     

    Thanks!

    Hi,

     

    Could you please include the configuration on your switches.

    Hi,

     

    From your configs I'm guessing you have something like this:

     

    irf member 1 irf-port 1 port 2
irf member 2 irf-port 2 port 4

     right?

     

     

    You should be able to list two physical ports as each virtual irf-port as this:

     

    irf member 1 irf-port 1 port 1 2
irf member 2 irf-port 2 port 3 4

     

     

     

     

     

     

    [lab]irf member 1 irf-port 1 port 1 2 ?
  <1,2,3,4>  Port can be used for IRF-port or aggregated with other ports as
             IRF-port
  <cr>

    thanks srg!

    it is ok now. For some reason I beleived that I should enter two commands for aggregation (for two ports), i.e.

    irf member 1 irf-port 1 port 1
    irf member 1 irf-port 1 port 2

    only just started with h3c... :)
