Enabling IRF auto-merge

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

Activating IRF port settings
causes IRF merge and reboot. To
avoid data loss, save the running
configuration to the startup
configuration file before you
perform the operation.
After this step is performed, the
state of the IRF port changes to
UP, the member devices elect a
master, and the subordinate
device reboots automatically.
After the IRF fabric is formed,
you can add additional physical
interfaces to an IRF port (in UP
state) without repeating this step.
Remarks
N/A
By default, IRF auto-merge is
enabled.
