Specifies the member ID of a member device. The value range for the member ID is 1 to 8. For an HPE FlexFabric 12916E switch, the member ID must be 1 or 5. For an HPE FlexFabric 12908E switch, the member ID must be 1 or 3. For an HPE FlexFabric 12904E switch, the member ID must be 1 or 2. - Page 12 This command bulk-configures basic IRF settings for a member device, including the member ID, domain ID, priority, and IRF port bindings. The easy IRF feature provides the following configuration methods: • Interactive method—Enter the easy-irf command without parameters. The system will guide you to set the parameters step by step.

Page 14: Irf Auto-Update Enable
For a successful merge, make sure IRF auto-merge is enabled on the IRF fabrics that are merging. This command is supported only in IRF mode. When you change the operating mode from IRF to standalone, the setting for this command is lost, regardless of whether you have saved the configuration. -

software versions support ISSU compatible upgrade, see ISSU compatibility list in the release notes for the device. Examples # Enable the software auto-update feature. <Sysname> system-view [Sysname] irf auto-update enable irf domain Use irf domain to assign a domain ID to the IRF fabric. Use undo irf domain to restore the default. -

Syntax irf link-delay interval undo irf link-delay Default The delay time is 4 seconds. Views System view Predefined user roles network-admin Parameters interval: Sets the IRF link down report delay in the range of 0 to 10000 milliseconds. If the interval is set to 0, link down events are reported without any delay. -
Page 17: Irf Mac-Address Persistent Always
Usage guidelines CAUTION: IRF bridge MAC address change causes transient traffic disruption. You can specify the bridge MAC address of an existing IRF fabric for a new IRF fabric to replace the existing IRF fabric with transient packet loss. This command is supported only in IRF mode. When you change the operating mode from IRF to standalone, the IRF bridge MAC address configuration is lost, regardless of whether you have saved the configuration. -

FlexFabric 12916E switch, the member ID must be 1 or 5. For an HPE FlexFabric 12908E switch, the member ID must be 1 or 3. For an HPE FlexFabric 12904E switch, the member ID must be 1 or 2. priority: Sets priority in the range of 1 to 32. The greater the priority value, the higher the priority. A member with higher priority is more likely to be the master. -
Page 21: Irf Priority
Usage guidelines CAUTION: IRF member ID change can invalidate member ID-related settings, including interface and file path settings, and cause data loss. Make sure you fully understand its impact on your live network. To have the new ID take effect, you must reboot the IRF member. To cancel the member ID change before you reboot the member device, use the undo irf member renumber command. -
Page 22: Irf-Port
Usage guidelines The member priority configured in standalone mode takes effect after you enable IRF mode. To change the member priority of a device in IRF mode, use the irf member priority command. The new priority setting takes effect at the next master election, but it does not trigger a master election. Examples # (In standalone mode.) Assign IRF member priority 32 to the device. -
