down-direction fabric-port connect independent-as
Function
The down-direction fabric-port connect independent-as command enables the independent mode on the fabric port that connects a level-1 AS to a level-2 AS.
The undo down-direction fabric-port command restores the default mode of the fabric port that connects a level-1 AS to a level-2 AS.
By default, the service configuration mode of the fabric port that connects a level-1 AS to a level-2 AS is centralized mode.
This command can only be executed on a parent switch.
Format
down-direction fabric-port port-id connect independent-as
undo down-direction fabric-port port-id connect
Parameters
| Parameter | Description | Value |
|---|---|---|
| port-id | Specifies the number of a fabric port. |
The value is an integer and must be set according to the device configuration. |
Usage Guidelines
Usage Scenario
In independent mode, you can log in to an AS to configure this AS using commands. After the independent mode is enabled on the fabric port that connects a level-1 AS to a level-2 AS, the level-2 AS can be configured independently.
Prerequisites
The fabric port used to connect a level-1 AS to a level-2 AS has been created using the down-direction fabric-port port-id member-group interface eth-trunk trunk-id command in the AS view.
Precautions
Before enabling the independent mode, run the independent-as-admin command in the uni-mng view to configure an administrator for AS login. If no administrator is created, you can only log in to an AS through a console port and need to enter the default password admin@huawei.com. The default password has security risks. You are advised to change the login password.
If service configurations have been delivered in centralized mode to a level-1 AS port before this port is changed to the independent mode, this port cannot be configured as a fabric port that connects to a level-2 AS. To do so, restore the level-1 AS to the centralized mode and cancel the service configurations of this port on the parent.
In independent mode, when an AS goes offline, traffic on the network attached to an AS port cannot be forwarded if the port has authentication configurations. To enable the traffic to be forwarded normally, manually delete the authentication configurations from the port.
