Determine which IRF ports are physically connected together

  • 1.  Determine which IRF ports are physically connected together

    Posted May 25, 2022 10:23 PM
    Hi All,
    Is there a command that will show which physical IRF interfaces are connected together.
    I have a several 2 member 5130 IRF switches onsite, and would like to know if they follow the same physical connection. For example, on one of our IRF switches i know that 1/0/25 connects to 2/0/26 and that 1/0/26 connects to 2/0/25., and that they are in a daisy chain configuration for IRF port link redundancy.
    Displaying IRF commands doesnt seem to tell me which interface connects to which interface. See config below:
    Regards,
    James

    Many recent Comware-based switches support LLDP over IRF-bundled physical ports. I think 5130 also supports this, as the "LAN switching configuration guide" for s/w version 32xx (5130-EI) mentions the following:

    You can configure LLDP on an IRF physical interface to monitor the connection and link status of the IRF physical link. An LLDP-enabled IRF physical interface supports only the nearest bridge agent.


    If LLDP is enabled globally ('lldp global enable' command) then by default it should enable on your Ten1[12]/0/2[56] (sorry for regex) ports. Then with simple 'display lldp neighbor' command you should be able to see the adjacent ports.

    Hi Ivan,
    Thank you for that. I was looking under IRF commands, and forgot to look for LLDP commands to show the ports. See output below:

    <IRF-Switch>display lldp neighbor-information
    LLDP neighbor-information of port 25[Ten-GigabitEthernet1/0/25]:
    LLDP agent nearest-bridge:
    LLDP neighbor index : 1
    ChassisID/subtype : 40b9-3cee-0792/MAC address
    PortID/subtype : Ten-GigabitEthernet2/0/26/Interface name
    Capabilities : Bridge, Router, Customer Bridge

    LLDP neighbor-information of port 26[Ten-GigabitEthernet1/0/26]:
    LLDP agent nearest-bridge:
    LLDP neighbor index : 1
    ChassisID/subtype : 40b9-3cee-0792/MAC address
    PortID/subtype : Ten-GigabitEthernet2/0/25/Interface name
    Capabilities : Bridge, Router, Customer Bridge

    LLDP neighbor-information of port 90[Ten-GigabitEthernet2/0/25]:
    LLDP agent nearest-bridge:
    LLDP neighbor index : 1
    ChassisID/subtype : 40b9-3cee-0792/MAC address
    PortID/subtype : Ten-GigabitEthernet1/0/26/Interface name
    Capabilities : Bridge, Router, Customer Bridge

    LLDP neighbor-information of port 91[Ten-GigabitEthernet2/0/26]:
    LLDP agent nearest-bridge:
    LLDP neighbor index : 1
    ChassisID/subtype : 40b9-3cee-0792/MAC address
    PortID/subtype : Ten-GigabitEthernet1/0/25/Interface name
    Capabilities : Bridge, Router, Customer Bridge

    Hi James,

    Cool, so now you have the information you were looking for, the ports are wired as per scheme below:

    XGE1/0/25 <--> XGE2/0/26
    XGE1/0/26 <--> XGE2/0/25

    P.S. I personally prefer the 'display lldp neighbor list' command, may be I should have mentioned that option too. It gives more compact and readable output.
