    CLI of the master switch. IRF member switches automatically elect a master. You can affect the election result by assigning a high member priority to the intended master switch. For more information about master election, see HPE OfficeConnect 1950 12XGT 4SFP+ Switch (JH295A) User Guide.
  • Page 26: Planning Irf Topology And Connections

    Planning IRF topology and connections You can create an IRF fabric in daisy chain topology or more reliable ring topology. In ring topology, the failure of one IRF link does not cause the IRF fabric to split as in daisy chain topology. Instead, the IRF fabric changes to a daisy chain topology without interrupting network services.
