device. Hence, before you enable the fabric port, do not perform any configuration
for the port, and do not enable some functions that affect the IRF (such as
TACACAS and VLAN-VPN) for other ports or globally. Otherwise, you cannot
enable the fabric port. Refer to the error information output by devices for the detail
restricts.
When you have enable fabric port function for a fabric port group, if you need to
change the fabric port group, you must disable the fabric function of the current
fabric port group before you execute the enable command on another group.
Otherwise, the system will prompt that the current fabric port group is in use, you
cannot change the fabric port group.
