Accessing The Irf Fabric; Accessing The Global Active Mpu Of The Irf Fabric; Accessing A Standby Mpu In The Irf Fabric - HPE FlexNetwork HSR6800 Configuration Manual

example, the system can convert the slot slot-number parameter set in standalone mode to the
chassis chassis-number slot slot-number parameter in IRF mode, and add the chassis ID in an
interface number.
To restore the standalone mode, use the undo chassis convert mode command.
TIP:
IRF generates packets on a device in IRF mode even if the device does not form an IRF fabric with
any other device. To protect system resources, set a device to operate in standalone mode after
removing it from an IRF fabric.

Accessing the IRF fabric

The IRF fabric appears as one device after it is formed. You configure and manage all IRF members
at the CLI of the global active MPU. All settings you made are automatically propagated to the IRF
members.
When you log in to an IRF fabric, you are placed at the CLI of the global active MPU, regardless of at
which member device you are logged in. After that, you can access the CLI of a standby MPU to
execute a limited set of maintenance commands.
The IRF fabric supports up to five concurrent VTY users. The maximum number of concurrent
console users equals the total number of MPUs in the IRF fabric.

Accessing the global active MPU of the IRF fabric

Access an IRF fabric in one of the following ways:
•
Local login—Log in through the console port of a member device.
•
Remote login—Remotely log in at a Layer 3 Ethernet interface on any member device by using
methods including Telnet, Web, and SNMP.
For more information, see the chapter on login in Fundamentals Configuration Guide.

Accessing a standby MPU in the IRF fabric

You can log in to the CLI of a standby MPU for maintenance or debugging. When you change from
the global active MPU's CLI to the standby MPU's CLI, you are placed in user view and the command
prompt
<Sysname-Slave#1/0>. You can execute the following commands at a standby MPU's CLI:
•
display
•
quit
•
return
•
system-view
•
debugging
•
terminal debugging
•
terminal logging
•
terminal monitor
•
terminal trapping
Perform the following task in user view:
