Usage guidelines
To set up an IRF fabric, place all member devices in IRF mode after you configure member IDs,
priorities, and IRF port settings for the member devices. In standalone mode, a device cannot form
an IRF fabric with other devices.
IRF generates packets on a device in IRF mode even if the device does not form an IRF fabric with
any other devices. To conserve system resources, set a device to standalone mode after you remove
the device from an IRF fabric.
The device automatically reboots for the mode change to take effect. During the reboot, you may
choose to have the system automatically convert the startup configuration file. Automatic
configuration conversion prevents chassis-, slot- or interface-related settings from becoming invalid.
For example, the system adds member ID information to interface numbers and file paths in IRF
mode.
