Step
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 propagated automatically to the IRF members.
You can access an IRF fabric's CLI in one of the following ways:
Local login—Log in through the console port of any member device.
•
• Remote login—Log in at a Layer 3 interface on any member device by using methods including
Telnet, Web, and SNMP.
When you log in to an IRF fabric, you are placed at the CLI of the master, regardless of at which member
device you are logged in. After that, you can access the CLI of a subordinate device to execute a limited
set of maintenance commands.
For more information, see the chapter on login in Fundamentals Configuration Guide.

Configuring a member device description

You can configure a description to describe the location or purpose of a member device.
To configure a description for a member device:
Step
1. Enter system view.
2. Configure a description for a
member device.
Command
quit
save
irf-port-configuration active
Command

irf member member-id description text

Remarks
N/A
Activating IRF port configurations can
cause 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 automatically elect a master, and
the subordinate device automatically
reboots.
After the IRF fabric is formed, you can add
more physical ports to an IRF port (in UP
state) without performing this step.
Remarks
N/A
By default, no member device
description is configured.
