Step
11. Save the running
configuration.
12. Activate the configuration on
the IRF port.

Enabling IRF auto merge

When two IRF fabrics merge, you must reboot the member devices in the IRF fabric that fails in the master
election. The auto merge function enables the IRF fabric to automatically reboot all its member devices to
complete the merge.
This function can work only when it is enabled on both IRF fabrics that are merging.
The IRF auto merge function does not take effect on the IRF fabric merge caused by binding a physical
port to an IRF port in IRF mode. You must manually reboot the devices that have been defeated in the
master election to complete the merge.
To enable IRF auto merge:
Step
1. Enter system view.
2. Enable IRF auto merge.

To configure a description for a member device:

Remarks
Activating IRF port
configurations can cause IRF
merge and reboot. To avoid
data loss, save the running
configuration to the startup
configuration file before you
perform the operation.
After this step is performed, the
state of the IRF port changes to
UP, the member devices elect a
master automatically, and the
subordinate device reboots
automatically.
After the IRF fabric is formed,
you can add more physical ports
to an IRF port (in UP state)
without performing this step.
Remarks

disabled.
Remarks
N/A

description is configured.
