mad ip address
Use mad ip address to assign a MAD IP address to an IRF member device for BFD MAD.
Use undo mad ip address to delete a MAD IP address.
Syntax
mad ip address ip-address { mask | mask-length } member member-id
undo mad ip address ip-address { mask | mask-length } member member-id
Default
No MAD IP address is configured for an IRF member device.
Views
Management Ethernet interface view

Predefined user roles

Parameters
ip-address: Specifies an IP address in dotted decimal notation. This IP address is bound to an IRF member for BFD detection and is called a MAD IP address.
mask: Specifies a subnet mask in decimal dotted notation.
mask-length: Specifies a subnet mask in length, in the range of 0 to 32.
member member-id: Specifies the ID of an IRF member.
Usage guidelines
To use BFD MAD, configure a MAD IP address for each IRF member. Make sure all the MAD IP addresses are on the same subnet.
To avoid problems, only use the mad ip address command to configure MAD IP addresses. Do not configure a MAD IP address by using other commands (for example, the ip address command).
The master attempts to establish BFD sessions with other member devices by using its MAD IP address as the source IP address.
If the IRF fabric is integrated, only the MAD IP address of the master takes effect. The master cannot establish a BFD session with any other member. If you execute the display bfd session command, the state of the BFD sessions is Down.
When the IRF fabric splits, the IP addresses of the masters in the partitioned IRF fabrics take effect. The masters can establish a BFD session. If you execute the display bfd session command, the state of the BFD session between the two devices is Up.
Examples
# Assign a MAD IP address to IRF member 1 on VLAN-interface 3.
<Sysname> system-view [Sysname] interface vlan-interface 3 [Sysname-Vlan-interface3] mad ip address 192.168.0.1 255.255.255.0 member 1
# Assign a MAD IP address to IRF member 2 on VLAN-interface 3.
[Sysname-Vlan-interface3] mad ip address 192.168.0.2 255.255.255.0 member 2
