Enabling enhanced IRF in standalone mode

Enhanced IRF allows you to create a three- or four-chassis IRF fabric.
When you configure enhanced IRF on a standalone device, follow these restrictions and guidelines:
• Do not create MDCs on the device. The mdc mdc-name [ id mdc-id ] command is mutually exclusive
with the irf mode enhanced command. For more information about MDC, see "Configuring MDC."
For a successful merge, make sure enhanced IRF is enabled or disabled on all member devices.
•
Devices that use different enhanced IRF settings cannot form an IRF fabric.
To enable enhanced IRF in standalone mode:
Step
1. Enter system view.
2. Enable enhanced IRF.
Saving configuration to the next-startup
configuration file
Save the running configuration before converting to the IRF mode. The mode change requires a reboot,
which can cause all unsaved settings to be lost.
