9. Bring up the physical
interfaces.

11. Save the configuration. save
Activating IRF port settings
causes IRF merge and reboot. To
avoid data loss, save the running
configuration to the startup
configuration file before you
activate IRF port settings.
12. Activate the IRF port settings. irf-port-configuration active
After this step is performed, the
state of the IRF port changes to
UP, the member devices elect a
master automatically, and the
subordinate device reboots
automatically.
After the IRF fabric is formed,
you can add additional physical
interfaces to an IRF port (in UP
state) without repeating this step.
Accessing the IRF fabric
The IRF fabric appears as one device after it is formed. You configure and manage all IRF members from
the CLI of the master. All settings you have made are propagated to the IRF members automatically.
The following methods are available for accessing an IRF fabric:
• Local login—Log in through the console port of any member device.
• Remote login—Log in at a Layer 3 interface on any member device by using methods including
Telnet and SNMP.
When you log in to an IRF fabric, you are placed at the CLI of the master, regardless of at which member
device you are logged in.
For more information, see login configuration in Fundamentals Configuration Guide.
