Setup And Configuration Task List - HP 6125G Configuration Manual

Assign each member a unique IRF member ID to make sure they can merge. You must reboot the
•
members to validate the IRF member ID settings.
Assign the highest member priority to the device you want to use as the master.
•
If a subordinate switch uses the same next-startup configuration file name as the master switch, the
•
file might be overwritten depending on your configuration file management settings. To continue to
use the configuration file after removing the switch from the IRF fabric, back up the file before setting
up the IRF fabric.
Save any configuration you have made to the startup configuration file before rebooting the IRF
•
member devices.
