If you have bound physical interfaces
to IRF ports or assigned member
priority, you must perform this step for

these settings to take effect after the

reboot.

Specifying a priority for each member device

IRF member priority represents the possibility for a device to be elected the master in an IRF fabric. The
higher the priority, the higher the possibility.
A change to member priority affects the election result at the next master election, but it does not cause

an immediate master re-election.
To specify a priority for a member device:

Connecting IRF physical interfaces

Connect the devices into a daisy chain.
When you connect two neighboring IRF members, connect the physical interfaces of IRF-port 1 on one

member to the physical interfaces of IRF-port 2 on the other (see

Figure 11

).

IMPORTANT:

Do not connect physical interfaces of both IRF ports on one member device to the physical interfaces of
both IRF ports on the other.

No intermediate devices are allowed between neighboring members.
