Step Command Remarks
3. Bind a physical
interface to the IRF
port.
port group interface

{ enhanced | normal } ]
By default, no physical interfaces are bound to
any IRF port.
Repeat this step to assign multiple physical
interfaces to the IRF port.
Each IRF port can have a maximum of eight
physical interfaces.
When you bind physical interfaces to an IRF
port, set all the physical interfaces to the same
mode: enhanced or normal.
If you do not specify a mode, the enhanced
mode applies.
Saving configuration to the next-startup
configuration file
Save the running configuration before converting to the IRF mode. The mode change requires a reboot,
which causes all unsaved settings to be lost.
Perform the following task in any view:
Task Command
Save the running configuration to
the next-startup configuration file. save [ safely ] [ backup | main ] [ force ]
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 15 ).
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.
