Setting A Member Id For A Switch; Specifying A Priority For A Member Switch; Configuring A Description For A Member Switch - H3C S9500E Series Configuration Manual

Setting a member ID for a switch

An IRF fabric uses member IDs to uniquely identify its members. A lot of information and configurations
relate to member IDs, such as port (physical or logical) numbers, configurations on ports, and member
priorities.
After you change the member ID of a switch:
If you do not reboot the switch, the original member ID still takes effect and all physical resources
•
are identified by the original member ID. In the configuration file, only the IRF port numbers,
configurations on IRF ports, and priority of the switch change with the member ID, other
configurations do not change.
If you save the running configuration and reboot the switch, the new member ID takes effect and all
•
physical resources are identified by the new member ID. In the configuration file, only the IRF port
numbers, configurations on IRF ports, and priority of the switch still take effect, other configurations
(such as configuration for physical IRF ports, value of the chassis keyword which adopts the original
member ID) no longer take effect and you need to configure them again.

To do...

CAUTION:
Member ID changes take effect at the reboot of the switch.
