I recently set up an IRF on two 5130 switches and I'm confused about some options. One sample config showed to put two interfaces into an irf port on each switch. For example:
irf-port 1/1
port group interface ten-gigabit 1/0/51
port group interface ten-gigabit 1/0/52
then on switch 2
irf-port 2/1
port group interface ten-gigabit 2/0/51
port group interface ten-gigabit 2/0/52
On another sample config it said make two irf ports for each switch. For example:
irf-port 1/1
port group interface ten-gigabit 1/0/51
irf-port 1/2
port group interface ten-gigabit 1/0/52
and on switch 2
irf-port 1/1
port group interface ten-gigabit 2/0/51
irf-port 1/2
port group interface ten-gigabit 2/0/52
I did the first example which seems to be working but I'm wondering the real difference and pros and cons of each example and a little clarification.
Thank you.
