Step Command Remarks
1. (Optional.) Verify the
member ID assignment
status.
display irf configuration
Check the MemberID field. If the device does
not have an IRF member ID, the field displays
two hyphens (--).
2. Enter system view. system-view N/A
3. Assign an IRF member ID to
the device.
irf member member-id
By default, the device does not have an IRF
member ID.
The assigned member ID must be 1 or 2. If
you use other member IDs, the IRF fabric
cannot be set up.
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.
To specify a priority for the device in standalone mode:
Step Command Remarks
1. Enter system view. system-view N/A
2. Specify a priority for the
device.
irf priority priority
The default IRF member priority
is 1.
Binding physical interfaces to IRF ports
To establish an IRF connection between two devices, you must bind a minimum of one physical interface
to IRF-port 1 on one device and to IRF-port 2 on the other.
You must configure IRF physical interfaces as Layer 2 interfaces. Layer 3 interfaces cannot be bound to
IRF ports. To configure a physical interface as a Layer 2 interface, use the port link-mode bridge
command. For more information about this command, see Interface Configuration Guide.
In standalone mode, IRF port binding operations do not affect the current configuration of the interface.
However, when the operating mode changes to IRF mode, the default configuration is restored on the
physical interface. You can only execute the description, flow-interval, and shutdown commands on the
physical interface. For more information about these commands, see Interface Command Reference.
To bind physical interfaces to IRF ports:

1. Enter system view. system-view N/A
2. Enter IRF port view. irf-port port-number N/A
