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.

The slot-number must be the same as
the member-id specified in the irf

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
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.
