Figure 1-1 provides a reference for what you will be building in this lab activity. Note that you will be replacing any reference to X with your POD-ID. For example the name of the IRF system for POD-1 will be Switch-1. Ports 1/0/24 on both switches are connected to the core, which are disabled. During the lab, your ports will be enabled once you have completed the IRF portion of the lab. Each POD will have a workstation connected to a back-end network to be used for IP connectivity to the Onboard Administrator on the c7000 enclosure as well as direct console access to the switches. Appendix A contains the list of all relevant IP Addresses per Student POD.

Section 1 HP A5800 IRF and Networking Config

Objectives
After completing this section you will be able to: Perform basic switch configuration Configure and verify operation of a two switch IRF system

Task 1: Name the system and enable Telnet access

1.
Establish a console connection with first Switch and assign it the switch name: Switch-<PODID>. Example (POD-5): Switch-5 <Switch>system-view [Switch]sysname Switch-<POD-ID> [Switch-5]

2.

Setup a local user account to be used for telnet access. The username will be admin with a plain-text password of hpdiscover. Youll also need to permit this user access to the Telnet interface. [Switch-5]local-user admin [Switch-5-luser-admin]service-type telnet [Switch-5-luser-admin]password simple password [Switch-5-luser-admin]authorization-attribute level 3 [Switch-5-luser-admin]quit

3.

Now that a local-user exists the remote console ports need to be set to use local authentication. [Switch-5]user-interface vty 0 4 [Switch-5-ui-vty0-4]authentication-mode scheme

4.

Finally the Telnet server needs to be enabled. Note that on the A5800 this is done by default but on some products like the A-Series MSR routers it is disabled by default. [Switch-5]telnet server enable [Switch-5]save

Task 2: Configure Switch 1 to be IRF Master

5.
Configure the IRF priority and the IRF Ports. [Switch-5]irf member 1 priority 32 [Switch-5]int ten 1/0/22 [Switch-5-int-ten1/0/22]shutdown [Switch-5]int ten 1/0/23 [Switch-5-int-ten1/0/23]shutdown [Switch-5]irf-port 1/1 [Switch-5-irf-port1/1]port group int ten 1/0/22 [Switch-5-irf-port1/1]port group int ten 1/0/23 [Switch-5]int ten 1/0/22

[Switch-5-int-ten1/0/22]undo shutdown [Switch-5]int ten 1/0/23 [Switch-5-int-ten1/0/23]undo shutdown [Switch-5]quit [Switch-5]irf-port-configuration active <Switch-5>display irf <Switch-5>display irf configuration <Switch-5>display irf topology <Switch-5>save

Task 3: Configure Switch 2 to be IRF Slave

1. 2. Establish a console connection with the second switch. Change the device id to 2 (unit number)
<Switch>system-view Display the current IRF information for Switch 2. <Switch>display irf <Switch>display irf configuration <Switch>display irf topology What is the member ID, role and priority in the default state?

[Switch]irf member 1 renumber 2 [Switch]quit <Switch>display irf configuration Confirm that new member ID will be 2 <Switch>reboot

3.

Configure the IRF Ports on Switch 2

<Switch>display irf config Confirm that A2 has the new member id <Switch>system-view [Switch]int ten 2/0/22 [Switch-int-ten2/0/22]shutdown [Switch-int-ten2/0/22]int ten 2/0/23 [Switch-int-ten2/0/23]shutdown [Switch]irf-port 2/2 [Switch-irf-port2/2]port group int ten 2/0/23 [Switch-irf-port2/2]port group int ten 2/0/22

Why are the IRF port assignments the reverse of Switch 1?

[Switch]int ten 2/0/22 [Switch-int-ten2/0/22]undo shutdown [Switch-int-ten2/0/22]int ten 2/0/23 [Switch-int-ten2/0/23]undo shutdown [Switch-int-ten2/0/23]quit [Switch]save [Switch]irf-port-configuration active At this point member 2 will reboot and accept its role as a member of the IRF.

Task 4: Verify IRF functionality

1. Verify IRF performance on Switch 1
<Switch>display irf <Switch>display irf config <Switch>display irf topology Status: IRF should be up and running, messages will display to Switch 1 as Switch 2 reboots reporting the change in IRF topology and status

2.

On the management connection for Switch 2 verify IRF performance

<Switch>display irf <Switch>display irf configuration <Switch>display irf topology

Task 5: Complete configuration of the IRF system

At this point physical Switches 1 and 2 are acting as a single virtual switch. The configuration of both switches can be performed from one or both console connections. How are the ports on the 2nd switches identified?

1. 2.

Establish a console connection to either switch in the IRF system. Configure VLAN interfaces and OSPF.

In the examples below certain values will require your POD-ID to complete. For VLANs you will see the example reference VLAN X0 where the X represents your POD-ID. If you have POD-ID 7 the value in your config would then be VLAN 70.

This same approach is taken for IP addresses. In the examples below IP addresses will be referenced similarly. The third octet will be represented as 172.16.5.X0 where your POD-ID will again be X. So for this example a POD-ID of 10 would result in 172.16.5.100 for this value. <Switch_A1>system-view [Switch]vlan 5 [Switch-vlan5]vlan X0 [Switch-vlanX0]vlan X1 [Switch-vlanX1]vlan X2 [Switch-vlanX2]int vlan 5 [Switch-int-vlan5]ip address 172.16.5.X0 24 Try issuing the command display this after setting the IP address of a VLAN interface. What information does this command provide?

[Switch-int-vlan5]int vlan X0 [Switch-int-vlanX0]ip address 192.168.X0.1 24 [Switch-int-vlanX0]int vlan X1 [Switch-int-vlanX1]ip address 192.168.X1.1 24 [Switch-int-vlanX1]int vlan X2 [Switch-int-vlanX2]ip address 192.168.X2.1 24 [Switch-int-vlanX2]quit [Switch]ospf 1 [Switch-ospf1]area 0 [Switch-ospf1-area0]network 192.168.0.0 0.0.255.255 [Switch-ospf1-area0]network 172.16.0.0 0.0.255.255 [Switch-ospf1-area0]quit [Switch-ospf1]quit To check your work use the display ip interface brief command to list all configured IP interfaces on this system.

3. Configure Bridge Aggregation Groups (BAGs) 1, 2, and 3

[Switch]int bridge-aggregation 1 [Switch-int-bragg1]link-aggregation mode dynamic [Switch-int-bragg1]description BAG to Core [Switch-int-bragg1]quit [Switch]int te1/0/24 [Switch-int-ten1/0/24]port link-aggregation group 1 [Switch-int-ten1/0/24]int te2/0/24 Which physical switch does port 2/0/24 belong to?

Note that this port can now be configured from Member Switch 1. [Switch-int-ten2/0/24]port link-aggregation group 1 [Switch-int-ten2/0/24]quit [Switch]int bridge-aggregation 1 [Switch-int-bragg1]port link-type trunk [Switch-int-bragg1]port trunk permit vlan 5 Use the display this command to see the link-type and previously configured features for this BAG. Move on to BAGs 2 & 3. This is a useful command for checking your work as you move through a task. [Switch-int-bragg1]quit [Switch]int bridge-aggregation 2 [Switch-int-bragg2]link-aggregation mode dynamic [Switch-int-bragg2]description BAG to enc0:1:X3 enc0:1:X4 [Switch-int-bragg2]quit [Switch]int te1/0/1 [Switch-int-ten1/0/1]port link-aggregation group 2 [Switch-int-ten1/0/1]int te2/0/1 [Switch-int-ten2/0/1]port link-aggregation group 2 [Switch-int-ten2/0/1]quit [Switch]int bridge-aggregation 2 [Switch-int-bragg2]port link-type trunk [Switch-int-bragg2]port trunk permit vlan X0 to X2 [Switch-int-bragg2]quit Setting the aggregation groups link-type to trunk tells the switch to apply an 802.1q tag for each packet that egresses this interface. The vlan X to X argument allows for a range of VLAN-IDs to be permitted on this trunked interface. Note that the default VLAN is VLAN-1 and will also be designated as the PVID (untagged VLAN) for these trunked ports.

[Switch]int bridge-aggregation 3 [Switch-int-bragg3]link-aggregation mode dynamic [Switch-int-bragg3]description BAG to enc0:2:X3 enc0:2:X4 [Switch-int-bragg3]quit [Switch]int te1/0/2 [Switch-int-ten1/0/2]port link-aggregation group 3 [Switch-int-ten1/0/2]int te2/0/2 [Switch-int-ten2/0/2]port link-aggregation group 3 [Switch-int-ten2/0/2]quit [Switch]int bridge-aggregation 3 [Switch-int-bragg2]port link-type trunk [Switch-int-bragg2]port trunk permit vlan X0 to X2 [Switch-int-bragg2]quit

You can use the display interface and display current-configuration interface commands to check the VLAN memberships configured for a port. Use display interface bridge-aggregation 3 to check the VLAN membership for BAG 3.

4. Establishing MAD/BFD between IRF members

The lab diagram references a physical connection for MAD traffic which is a common approach to enabling MAD/BFD. For the purposes of this lab were going to place the MAD/BFD traffic onto VLAN X3 rather than running a dedicated cable. VLAN X3 has already been created so the next step is to configure the MAD/BFD interface and establish the MAD connection. [Switch]vlan X3 [Switch-vlanX3]port gi1/0/28 [Switch-vlanX3]port gi2/0/28 [Switch] interface vlan X3 [Switch-int-vlanX1]mad bfd enable [Switch-int-vlanX1]mad ip address 10.255.255.1 24 member 1 [Switch-int-vlanX1]mad ip address 10.255.255.2 24 member 2 [Switch-int-vlanX1]quit [Switch]mad exclude interface gi1/0/28 [Switch]mad exclude interface gi2/0/28 [Switch]quit

Now use the display mad and display mad verbose commands to view the status of MAD. This feature allows multiple members of an IRF system to detect a state where both believe that they are master. Using BFD allows the members to establish a UDP session and use that connection to monitor health. In the event that multi-masters are detected the lower priority members will shut down all interfaces to prevent network issues that would occur in this state. You should get a report like this: Current MAD status: Detect Excluded ports(configurable): Excluded ports(cannot be configured): Ten-GigabitEthernet1/0/22 Ten-GigabitEthernet1/0/23 Ten-GigabitEthernet2/0/22 Ten-GigabitEthernet2/0/23 MAD LACP disabled. MAD BFD enabled interface: Vlan-interface4094 mad ip address 10.255.255.1 255.255.255.0 member 1 mad ip address 10.255.255.2 255.255.255.0 member 2

5. Enabling Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) and Connect to Core

You now have most of the fundamental networking in place at the A5800 level of this lab. The next step is to connect to the core and verify IP connectivity, OSPF, and LACP. This portion of the lab will mostly consist of verifying the operation of configuration made to this point.

1.

Enable STP globally (make sure that you are at the base system level and not at the interface level of the config) [Switch]stp enable [Switch]save

2.

Enable stp edged-port enable on the ports connecting to Virtual Connect [Switch]int ten1/0/1 [Switch]stp edged-port enable [Switch]int ten1/0/2 [Switch]stp edged-port enable [Switch]int ten2/0/1 [Switch]stp edged-port enable [Switch]int ten2/0/2 [Switch]stp edged-port enable [Switch]save

The command stp edged-port enable is exactly the same as the Cisco spanning-tree portfast command. Your uplinks to the core have been disabled. When you are ready to proceed have the instructor enable the core links to BAG-3. You should see notifications on the console that the interfaces are up and updates from OSPF, STP, and LACP. Use the following commands to verify operation. Youll step your way from verifying basic connectivity display current-configuration (CTRL-G) display stp display interface [brief] display ip route (CTRL-L) display ospf [brief | peer | routing] display lldp neighbor [brief, list] display port trunk display link-aggregation [summary | verbose] display vlan [all | VLAN-ID] ping 3. 4. Verify physical connectivity to the core. You can use LLDP and display interface commands. Once physical connectivity has been verified you need to check the operation of LACP.

What is the status of the three BAGs created so far (note that 1&2 have not been configured on the server side yet)

What are the 5 flags listed for each of the BAGs whats different between BAG1 and BAGs 2&3?

5.

Check STP operation and see what links are blocking and forwarding.

6.

See if OSPF has formed and adjacency with the core.

How many OSFP neighbors do you see?

What routes have been learned via OSFP?

Ping the core router 172.16.5.254 (if another POD is to this same point in the lab you should be able to ping their IRF system IP interfaces as well). This concludes this section of the lab.
