1.3.2 Setting a Unit ID for a Switch

On the switches that support automatic numbering, FTM will automatically number
the switches to constitute an IRF fabric, so that each switch has a unique unit ID in the
fabric. You can use the command in the following table to set unit IDs for switches.
Make sure to set different unit IDs for different switches in an IRF fabric. Otherwise,
FTM will automatically number the switches with the same unit ID.
