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 takes 0 for the fixed
ports on the front panel, and takes 1 and 2 for the two interface cards (from left to right) on the rear
panel.
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
[Master] interface gigabitethernet 3/0/1
[Master-GigabitEthernet3/0/1] port link-type trunk

File system naming conventions

On a standalone switch, you can use the name of storage device to access its file system. For more
information about storage device naming conventions, see Fundamentals Configuration Guide.
On an IRF fabric, you can use the name of storage device to access the file system of the master. To
access the
slotmember-ID#storage-device-name format. For example:
To access the test folder under the root directory of the Flash on the master switch:
<Master> mkdir test
...
file system of any other member switch,
