Specifying A Priority For Each Member Device; Connecting Physical Irf Ports - HP 6125XLG Configuration Manual

Step
1. Enter system view.
2. Assign a member ID to a
member device.
3. (Optional.) Save the
configuration.
4. Reboot the device.

Specifying a priority for each member device

IRF member priority represents the possibility for a device to be elected the master in an IRF fabric. The
higher the priority, the higher the possibility.
A member priority change affects the election result at the next master election, but it does not cause
immediate master re-election.
To specify a priority for a member device:
Step
1. Enter system view.
2. Specify a priority for the
device.

Connecting physical IRF ports

When you connect two neighboring IRF members, connect the physical ports of IRF-port 1 on one
member to the physical ports of IRF-port 2 on the other, as shown in
Suppose you have four chassis: A, B, C, and D. IRF-port 1 and IRF-port 2 are represented by A1 and A2
on chassis A, represented by B1 and B2 on chassis B, and so on. To connect the four chassis into a ring
topology of A-B-C-D(A), the IRF link cabling scheme must be one of the following:
• A1-B2, B1-C2, C1-D2, and D1-A2.
A2-B1, B2-C1, C2-D1, and D2-A1.
•
IMPORTANT:
No intermediate devices are allowed between neighboring members.

The default IRF member ID is 1.
If you have bound physical ports
to IRF ports or assigned member
priority, save the configuration
before rebooting the device so
these settings can continue to
take effect after the reboot.
