Description
Use the fabric member-auto-update software enable command to enable the IRF automatic fabric
function for a switch.
Use the undo fabric member-auto-update software enable command to disable the IRF automatic
fabric function for a switch.
By default, the IRF automatic fabric function for a switch is disabled.
H3C S3600 series switches provide the IRF automatic fabric function, which enables a candidate switch
to automatically download the software and change the fabric name in case that the software version
and fabric name of the candidate device and that of the device in the fabric are different, thus reducing
the manual maintenance workload.
You need to enable the IRF automatic fabric function on all the devices including the candidate
switch in the fabric to enable the candidate switch to download software and discovery neighbors
and thus be added to the fabric normally.
If the candidate switch is going to download software from a unit in an IRF fabric, you are
recommended to set the ID of the unit to 1 to make the candidate switch download the software of
correct version.
Before configuring the IRF automatic fabric function, make sure that the candidate switch has
enough Flash space to download the software.
After you configure the IRF automatic fabric function on Slave, execute the save command to save
the configurations as soon as possible. Otherwise, the device may synchronize the configurations
from Master and restart repeatedly because the configurations on the device are lost after the
device automatically downloads the software and restarts.
