IRF fabric also needs to be managed and maintained, and thus consumes system resources. Therefore, if a switch does not need to form an IRF fabric with other devices, H3C recommends that you configure its operating mode as standalone mode.
Examples # Switch the operating mode of the switch from standalone to IRF mode. <Sysname> system-view [Sysname] chassis convert mode irf The device will switch to IRF mode and reboot. You are recommended to save the current running configuration and specify the configuration file for the next startup. Continue?

irf auto-update enable Syntax irf auto-update enabl o irf auto-update enable View Syst em view Default level 3: Manage level Paramete None Descripti Use the irf auto-update enable command to automatically synchronize the boot file of the master switch to the switch you are adding to the IRF fabric. Use the undo irf auto-update enable command to disable this function.
undo irf domain View Syst em view Default le 3: Manage level Paramete domain-id: Specifies the domain ID assigned to an IRF fabric, ranging from 0 to 4294967295. Descripti Use the irf domain command to assign a domain ID for an IRF fabric. Use the irf domain comma nd to restore the default.
Use the undo irf link-delay command to restore the default. By default, the delay time for the link layer to report a link-down event of an IRF fabric is 0 milliseconds. This command is available only when the switch is operating in IRF mode. The configuration of this command will be lost when you c hange to the standalone mode, even if you have saved the configuration.
View System view Default level 3: Manage level Paramete None Descripti Use the irf link-status auto-recovery en able command to enable IRF link auto-recovery. Use the undo irf link-status auto-recovery enable command to disable IRF link auto-recovery. By default, IRF link auto-recovery is enabled. IRF link auto-recovery enables the switch to automatically recover a failed link that has bee n detected by the I...

If the master does not come back when the preservation time expires, the IRF fabric uses the bridge MAC address of the newly elected master as its bridge MAC addre •...
When the operating mode of the switch changes from standalone to IRF, the member ID of the • switch is needed for the auto-conversion of the configuration file. If the switch has no member ID configured, use the irf member command to set a member ID for it. An IRF fabric uses member IDs to uniqu ely identify and manage members.
irf member priority Syntax irf member memb er-id priority priority o irf member member-id priority View System view Default le 3: M anage level Paramete member-id: Specifies the ID of an IRF member switch, which is in th e range of 1 to 4. priority: Specifies the priority value, which is in the range of 1 to 32.

Paramete member-id: Specifies the ID of an IRF member switch, which is in the range of 1 to 4. new-member-id: Specifies the new ID of the member of the IRF fabric, which is in t he range of 1 to 4. Descripti Use the irf member renumber command to set a member ID for a member of an IRF fabric.
irf mode enhanced Syntax irf mode enhanced undo irf mode enhanced View ystem view Para ete None Descri ption Use the irf mode enhanced command to enable enhanced IRF mode. Use the undo irf mode enhanced command to disable enhanced IRF mode. The enhanced IRF mode enables up to four switches to form an IRF fabric.
# Enable enhanced IRF mode on a switch in IRF mode where both Layer-3 Ethernet ports and VPLS instances exist. <Sysname> system-view [Sysname] irf mode enhanced Mode switch failed because the enhanced IRF mode does not support the L ayer 3 E thernet interface.
Use the undo irf priority command to restore the default. By default, the priority of a member switch is 1. Member priority is used for role election . The greater the priority value, the higher the priority. A ember with a higher priority is more likely to be a master. To specify a priority for the switch: Use the irf priority command w hen the switch operates in standalone mode.
debugging • terminal debugging • • terminal logging terminal monitor • terminal trapping • To return to the console of the active MPU of the IRF fabric, execute the quit command. The active MPU of the IRF fabric is reactivated and ready for outputting information. However, you cannot redirect to the active MPU of the IRF fabric with the irf switch-to command.

By default, ARP MAD is disabled. When executing the mad arp enable command, you are required to input the IRF domain ID to avoid the situation that the MAD detection p ackets of this IRF fabric are sent to a neighbor IRF fabric. Examples # Enable ARP MAD on VLAN-interface 3.
mad enable Syntax mad enabl o mad enable View Aggregate interface view Default level 3: Manage level Paramete None Descripti se the mad enable command to enable LACP MAD to detect the IRF fabric for multi-active collisions. Use the undo mad enable command to disable LACP MAD. By default, LACP MAD is d isabled.
If a port must be kept in up state for special purposes such as a telnet connection, you can exclude it from the shut down action. To avoid problems, H3C recommends that you keep all ports down but the one used for telnet for the management purpose. The ports shut do wn come up when the member switches reboot to join the recovered IRF fabric.
member member-id: Specifies the ID of an IRF member switch, which is in the range of 1 to 4. Descripti Use the mad ip address command to configure the MAD IP address for the specified member switch. Use the undo mad ip address command to delete the configured MAD IP address. By default, no MAD IP address is configured for any interface.
