Reboot the device.
Specifying a priority for each member device
IRF member priority represents the possibility for a device to be elected the master in an IRF fabric.
The higher the priority, the higher the possibility.
A change to member priority affects the election result at the next master election. However, it does
not cause an immediate master re-election.
To specify a priority for a member device:
Step
1.
Enter system view.
2.
Specify a priority for the
device.
Connecting IRF physical interfaces
When you connect two neighboring IRF members, connect the physical interfaces of IRF-port 1 on
one member to the physical interfaces of IRF-port 2 on the other.
For example, you have four member devices: A, B, C, and D. IRF-port 1 and IRF-port 2 are
represented by A1 and A2 on member device A, represented by B1 and B2 on member device B,
and so on. To connect the four member devices into a ring topology of A-B-C-D(A), the IRF link
cabling scheme must be one of the following:
•
A1-B2, B1-C2, C1-D2, and D1-A2.
•
A2-B1, B2-C1, C2-D1, and D2-A1.
IMPORTANT:
No intermediate devices are allowed between neighboring members.
