4. Return to system view.
5. Enter IRF port view.
6. Bind each physical
interface to the IRF port.
7. Return to system view.
8. Enter interface view or
interface range view.
9. Bring up the interface or
the range of interfaces.
10. Return to system view.
11. Save the configuration.
12. Activate the IRF port
settings.

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 master. All settings you have made are automatically propagated to the IRF
members.
The following methods are available for accessing an IRF fabric:
•
Local login—Log in through the console port of any member device.
Command

•
Enter interface view:
interface interface-type

•
Enter interface range view:
interface range { interface-type

By default, no physical interfaces
are bound to an IRF port.
Repeat this step to assign
multiple physical interfaces to
the IRF port for link redundancy.
You can bind up to eight physical
interfaces to an IRF port.

Activating IRF port settings
causes IRF merge and reboot.
To avoid data loss, save the
running configuration to the
startup configuration file before
you perform the operation.
After this step is performed, the
state of the IRF port changes to
UP, the member devices elect a
master automatically, and the
subordinate device reboots
automatically.
After the IRF fabric is formed,
you can add additional physical
interfaces to an IRF port (in UP
state) without repeating this step.
