Usage guidelines
To set up an IRF fabric, place all its member devices in IRF mode after configuring their member ID,
priority, and IRF port settings. In standalone mode, a device cannot form an IRF fabric with other
devices.
After removing a device from an IRF fabric, change its operating mode to standalone. In IRF mode,
the device forms a single-member IRF fabric, and the IRF protocol still runs on the device to
consume system resources.
Save any configuration you have made before changing the device to operate in a different mode,
because the device will automatically reboot to make the new operating mode take effect.
Make sure you have assigned a member ID to each IRF member device before you enable the IRF
mode. If no member ID is assigned, two hyphens (--) is displayed in the output of the MemberID
field from the display irf-configuration command.
