IRF LINK TIMEOUT

[Beero]

Hello,

I have 2 HP A-10508 core switches configured as an IRF.
I am using 4 Tengig ports on each core to maintain the IRF connection.
I configured 2 Tengig ports as IRF-PORT 1, and 2 Tengig ports as IRF-PORT 2 (on both Cores)
and connected IRF PORT 1 with  IRF PORT 2 each time.

PROBLEM IS ONE OF THE CONNECTIONS give 'TIMEOUT' on link status.

I tried to reconfigure the IRF, IT Gives UP on both connections, but after 10 min the second one goes 'TIMEOUT' again.

IRF Commands output is attahced.

Move the tengig ports on Chassis 1 so they are all on IRF port 1. On Chassis 2, move them all to IRF port 2.

Now connect them all.

Hi

It looks like you have a older firmware which doesn't support irf ring topology. Put all links into IRF-Port 1/1 and 2/2 or upgrade your firmware the the latest.

Analyzing the above logs, configuration must be wrong. Post the switch configuration here ...
