Usage guidelines
After connecting the physical ports between two devices and binding them to the correct IRF ports, you
must use this command to activate the settings on the IRF ports to merge the two devices into one IRF
fabric.
Activating IRF port settings can cause an IRF merge and device reboot. To avoid configuration loss, use
the following procedure to set up your IRF fabric:
1. Plan the IRF setup, including the IRF fabric topology, IRF fabric size, member ID assignment, and
bindings of physical ports and IRF ports.
2. Change the IRF member ID of each device to make sure they are unique in the IRF fabric.
3. Connect the physical ports between neighboring devices and make sure the peer ports can reach
each other.
4. Bind the physical ports to the IRF ports on each device.
5. Save the configuration to the startup configuration file on each device.
6. Activate the IRF ports on each device.
The system automatically activates the IRF port settings in the following situations:
The configuration file that the device starts with contains IRF port bindings.
•
You are binding physical ports to an IRF port after an IRF fabric is formed.

Examples
To configure and activate IRF port 1/2:
# Bind Ten-GigabitEthernet 1/0/17 to IRF-port 1/2.
<Sysname> system-view
[Sysname] interface ten-gigabitethernet 1/0/17
[Sysname-Ten-GigabitEthernet1/0/17] shutdown
[Sysname-Ten-GigabitEthernet1/0/17] quit
[Sysname] irf-port 1/2
[Sysname-irf-port1/2] port group interface Ten-GigabitEthernet 1/0/17
Info : You are recommended to save the configuration now; otherwise, it will be lost after
system reboot.
[Sysname-irf-port1/2] quit
[Sysname] interface ten-gigabitethernet 1/0/17
[Sysname-Ten-GigabitEthernet1/0/17] undo shutdown
[Sysname-Ten-GigabitEthernet1/0/17] quit
# Save the configuration so the IRF port settings can take effect after the device reboots.
[Sysname] save
The current configuration will be written to the device. Are you sure? [Y/N]:y
