Changing The Member Id Of A Device; Changing The Priority Of A Member Device; Adding Physical Interfaces To An Irf Port - HP FlexFabric 12900 Series Configuration Manual

Changing the member ID of a device

CAUTION:
In IRF mode, an IRF member ID change can invalidate member ID-related settings and cause data loss.
•
Make sure you fully understand its impact on your live network.
• If you are exchanging the member IDs of member devices, you must place the member devices in
standalone mode before renumbering them for a successful IRF merge.
The new member ID takes effect at reboot. After the device reboots, the settings on all member ID related
physical resources (including common physical network ports) are removed, regardless of whether you
have saved the configuration.
To change the member ID of a member device:
Step
1. Enter system view.
2. Change the member ID of a
member device.
3. Save the running
configuration.
4. Reboot the member device.

Changing the priority of a member device

You can change the priority of a member device so it can be elected the master at the next master
election.
A change to member priority can affect the master re-election result. However, it does not cause an
immediate master re-election.
To change the priority of a member device:
Step
1. Enter system view.
2. Specify a priority for a
member of an IRF fabric.

Adding physical interfaces to an IRF port

An IRF port can have a maximum of eight physical interfaces.
In IRF mode, you can add physical interfaces to an IRF port without traffic interruption on the IRF port.
