Feature compatibility and configuration restrictions
To form an IRF fabric, all member devices in the IRF fabric must use the same ACL hardware mode. For
more information about hardware-based ACLs, see ACL and QoS Configuration Guide.
Configuration backup
H3C recommends that you back up the next-startup configuration file on a device before adding the
device to an IRF fabric as a subordinate.
A subordinate device's next-startup configuration file might be overwritten if the master and the
subordinate use the same file name for their next-startup configuration files. You can use the backup file
to restore the original configuration after removing the subordinate from the IRF fabric.
