Enabling auto reboot for IRF fabric merge

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

Configuring a member switch description

You can configure a description to describe the location or purpose of a member device for easy
management.
To configure a description for a member switch:
Step
1. Enter system view.
2. Configure the description of
a member.

Configuring IRF link load sharing mode

On an IRF port that has multiple links, traffic is balanced across its physical links. You can configure the
IRF port to distribute traffic based on certain criteria, including IP addresses, MAC addresses, incoming
port, or any combination of the criteria. If a criteria combination is not supported, the system displays an
error message.
Configure the IRF link load sharing mode for IRF links in system view or IRF port view:
In system view, the configuration is global and takes effect on all IRF ports.
•
In IRF port view, the configuration is port specific and takes effect only on the specific IRF port.
•
An IRF port preferentially uses the port-specific load sharing mode. If no port-specific load sharing mode
is available, an IRF port uses the global load sharing mode.
