forwarding problems on the network. To quickly detect a multi-active collision, configure at least one
MAD mechanisms (see

IRF merge

IRF merge occurs when two split IRF fabrics re-unite or when you configure and connect two independent
IRF fabrics to be one IRF fabric, as shown in
Figure 4 IRF merge

Member priority

Member priority determines the possibility of a member device to be elected the master. A member with
higher priority is more likely to be elected the master.
The default member priority is 1. You can change the member priority of a member device to affect the
master election result.

Interface naming conventions

An interface is named in the format of chassis-id/slot-number/port-index, where:
chassis-id—IRF member ID of the switch. This argument defaults to 1.
•
slot-number—Represents the slot number of the interface card. This argument always takes 0 on HP
•
6125 switches.
port-index—Port index depends on the number of ports available on the switch. To identify the
•
index of a port, look at its port index mark on the chassis.
For one example, on the standalone switch Sysname, GigabitEthernet 1/0/1 represents the first fixed
port on the front panel. Set its link type to trunk, as follows:
<Sysname> system-view
[Sysname] interface gigabitethernet 1/0/1
[Sysname-GigabitEthernet1/0/1] port link-type trunk
For another example, on the IRF fabric Master, GigabitEthernet 3/0/1 represents the first fixed port on
the front panel of member switch 3. Set its link type to trunk, as follows:
<Master> system-view
"IRF multi-active detection").
