Changing The Member Id Of A Device; Changing The Priority Of A Member Device - HP 10500 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. Be
sure you fully understand its impact on your live network.
For a successful IRF merge, you must place a device in standalone mode before renumbering it in one of
the following situations:
The IRF physical ports of the device are 10-GE breakout ports that are divided from a 40-GE QSFP+
•
port.
You are exchanging the member IDs of two devices. In this case, place both devices in standalone mode.
•
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 and require reconfiguration,
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 member priority change can affect the master re-election result, but does not cause 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.
