Device B and Device A form an IRF after Device B reboots.
Configure the IRF fabric:
3.
# Enable the spanning tree feature globally on the IRF fabric.
<Sysname> system-view
[Sysname] stp enable
# Configure the bridge MAC address of the IRF fabric to change as soon as the master leaves.
[Sysname] undo irf mac-address persistent
# Set the domain ID of the IRF fabric to 1.
[Sysname] irf domain 1
Configure ARP MAD:
4.
# Create VLAN 3, and add GigabitEthernet 1/4/0/2 and GigabitEthernet 2/4/0/2 to VLAN 3.
[Sysname] vlan 3
[Sysname-vlan3] port gigabitethernet 1/4/0/2 gigabitethernet 2/4/0/2
[Sysname-vlan3] quit
# Create VLAN-interface 3, assign it an IP address, and enable ARP MAD on the interface.
[Sysname] interface vlan-interface 3
[Sysname-Vlan-interface3] mad arp enable
You need to assign a domain ID (range: 0-4294967295)
[Current domain is: 1]:
The assigned
[Sysname-Vlan-interface3] ip address 192.168.2.1 24
Configure Device C as the intermediate device:
5.
CAUTION:
If the intermediate device is in an IRF fabric, you must assign this fabric a different domain ID than
the ARP MAD-enabled fabric.
# Enable the spanning tree feature globally on Device C.
<DeviceC> system-view
[DeviceC] stp enable
# Create VLAN 3, and add GigabitEthernet 4/0/1 and GigabitEthernet 4/0/2 to VLAN 3.
[DeviceC] vlan 3
[DeviceC-vlan3] port gigabitethernet 4/0/1 gigabitethernet 4/0/2
[DeviceC-vlan3] quit

Network requirements
Set up a four-chassis IRF fabric at the access layer of the enterprise network in
a MAD mechanism in the IRF fabric, because the IRF fabric has a multichassis aggregate link to
Device E.
domain ID is: 1
