• To avoid member ID collision with other members when the switch is added into an IRF fabric, plan
the member ID of this device when it operates in standalone mode.
Follow these steps to set a member ID for the switch:

• If the OAA card needs to process cross-switch traffic, set the member IDs of the two IRF member switches

Binding physical ports to IRF ports
NOTE:
The S10500 switch uses 10 GE optical ports, which are on the line processing units (LPUs), as physical IRF
ports to perform IRF connection. For more information about LPUs providing 10 GE optical ports, see
H3C
S10500 Switch Series Installation Guide.
To establish IRF connection, you must assign the physical ports that connect IRF member switches to IRF
ports. An IRF port can be bound to either one or multiple physical IRF ports.
Follow these steps to bind physical ports to IRF ports:
