Setting up an IRF fabric

Overview

The Intelligent Resilient Framework (IRF) technology virtualizes multiple physical devices at the

same layer into one virtual fabric to provide data center class availability and scalability. IRF

virtualization technology offers processing power, interaction, unified management, and

uninterrupted maintenance of multiple devices.

Figure 1 shows an IRF fabric that has two devices, which appear as a single node to the upper-layer

and lower-layer devices.

Figure 1 IRF application scenario

IRF provides the following benefits:

•Simplified topology and easy management—An IRF fabric appears as one node and is

accessible at a single IP address on the network. You can use this IP address to log in at any

member device to manage all the members of the IRF fabric. In addition, you do not need to run

the spanning tree feature among the IRF members.

•1:N redundancy—In an IRF fabric, one member acts as the master to manage and control the

entire IRF fabric. All the other members process services while backing up the master. When

the master fails, all the other member devices elect a new master from among them to take over

without interrupting services.

•IRF link aggregation—You can assign several physical links between neighboring members to

their IRF ports to create a load-balanced aggregate IRF connection with redundancy.

•Multichassis link aggregation—You can use the Ethernet link aggregation feature to

aggregate the physical links between the IRF fabric and its upstream or downstream devices

across the IRF members.

•Network scalability and resiliency—Processing capacity of an IRF fabric equals the total

processing capacities of all the members. You can increase ports, network bandwidth, and

processing capacity of an IRF fabric simply by adding member devices without changing the

network topology.

Network topology

An IRF fabric can use a daisy-chain or ring topology. IRF does not support the full mesh topology. For

information about connecting IRF member devices, see "Connecting IRF physical interfaces."

Basic concepts

IRF member roles

IRF uses two member roles: masterand standby (called subordinate throughout the documentation).

When devices form an IRF fabric, they elect a master to manage and control the IRF fabric, and all

the other devices back up the master. When the master device fails, the other devices automatically

elect a new master. For more information about master election, see "Master election."

IRF member ID

An IRF fabric uses member IDs to uniquely identify and manage its members. This member ID

information is included as the first part of interface numbers and file paths to uniquely identify

interfaces and files in an IRF fabric. For more information about interface and file path naming, see

"Interface naming conventions" and "File system naming conventions."

Two devices cannot form an IRF fabric if they use the same member ID.Adevice cannot join an IRF

fabric if its member ID has been used in the fabric.

IRF port

An IRF port is a logical interface that connects IRF member devices. Every IRF-capable device has

two IRF ports. The IRF ports are named IRF-port n/1 and IRF-port n/2, where nis the member ID of

the switch. The two IRF ports are referred to as IRF-port 1 and IRF-port 2 in this book.

To use an IRF port, you must bind a minimum of one physical interface to it. The physical interfaces

assigned to an IRF port automatically form an aggregate IRF link. An IRF port goes down when all its

IRF physical interfaces are down.

IRF physical interface

IRF physical interfaces connect IRF member devices and must be bound to an IRF port. They

forward traffic between member devices, including IRF protocol packets and data packets that must

travel across IRF member devices.

For more information about physical interfaces that can be used for IRF links, see "IRF physical

interface requirements."

MAD

An IRF link failure causes an IRF fabric to split in two IRF fabrics operating with the same Layer 3

settings, including the same IP address. To avoid IP address collision and network problems, IRF

uses multi-active detection (MAD) mechanisms to detect the presence of multiple identical IRF

fabrics, handle collisions, and recover from faults.

IRF domain ID

One IRF fabric forms one IRF domain. IRF uses IRF domain IDs to uniquely identify IRF fabrics and

prevent IRF fabrics from interfering with one another.

As shown in Figure 2, IRF fabric 1 contains Device Aand Device B, and IRF fabric 2 contains Device

C and Device D. Both fabrics use the LACP aggregate links between them for MAD. When a

member device receives an extended LACPDU for MAD, it checks the domain ID to see whether the

packet is from the local IRF fabric. Then, the device can handle the packet correctly.

Figure 2 A network that contains two IRF domains

IRF split

IRF split occurs when an IRF fabric breaks up into multiple IRF fabrics because of IRF link failures,

as shown in Figure 3. The split IRF fabrics operate with the same IP address. IRF split causes

routing and forwarding problems on the network. To quickly detect a multi-active collision, configure

a minimum of one MAD mechanism (see "Configuring MAD").

Figure 3 IRF split

IRF merge

IRF merge occurs when two split IRF fabrics reunite or when two independent IRFfabrics are united,

as shown in Figure 4.

Member priority

Member priority determines the possibility of a member device to be elected the master. A member

with higher priority is more likely to be elected the master.

Interface naming conventions

An interface is named in the chassis-id/slot-number/port-index format.

•chassis-id—IRF member ID of the device. This argument defaults to 1. The IRF member ID

always takes effect, whether or not the device has formed an IRF fabric with other devices. If

the device is alone, the device is regarded a one-chassis IRF fabric.

•slot-number—Slot number of the front panel. This argument is fixed at 0.

•port-index—Index of the port on the device. Port index depends on the number of ports

available on the device. To identify the index of a port, examine its port index mark on the

chassis.

For example:

•On the single-chassis IRF fabric Sysname, Ten-GigabitEthernet 1/0/1 represents the first port

on the device. Set its link type to trunk, as follows:

<Sysname> system-view

[Sysname] interface ten-gigabitethernet 1/0/1

[Sysname-Ten-GigabitEthernet1/0/1] port link-type trunk

•On the multi-chassis IRF fabric Master, Ten-GigabitEthernet 3/0/1 represents the first port on

member device 3. Set its link type to trunk, as follows:

<Master> system-view

[Master] interface ten-gigabitethernet 3/0/1

[Master-Ten-GigabitEthernet3/0/1] port link-type trunk

File system naming conventions

On a single-chassis fabric, you can use its storage device name to access its file system.

On a multichassis IRF fabric, you can use the storage device name to access the file system of the

master. To access the file system of any other member device, use the name in the

slotmember-ID#storage-device-name format.

For example:

To access the test folder under the root directory of the flash memory on the master device:

<Master> mkdir test

Creating directory flash:/test... Done.

<Master> dir

Directory of flash:
