H3C Technologies H3C S10500 Series Switches - Manual (Page 51)

• Specify priorities for member switches to make sure that Device A is elected as the master of the IRF
fabric.
• When IRF links fail, first repair IRF links and then reboot the device in recovery state to make it re-join
the IRF fabric.
Configuration procedure
1. Configure Device A
# Set the member ID of Device A to 1, create IRF ports 1 and 2, and bind them to physical ports
Ten-GigabitEthernet 3/0/1 and Ten-GigabitEthernet 3/0/2 respectively.
<Sysname> system-view
[Sysname] irf member 1
Info: Member ID change will take effect after the switch reboots and operates in IRF mode.
[Sysname] irf-port 1
[Sysname-irf-port1] port group interface ten-gigabitethernet 3/0/1
[Sysname-irf-port1] quit
[Sysname] irf-port 2
[Sysname-irf-port2] port group interface ten-gigabitethernet 3/0/2
[Sysname-irf-port2] quit
# Specify the priority of Device A as 10 to make sure that it is elected as the master when the IRF fabric
is established.
[DeviceA] irf priority 10
# Save the current configuration to the startup configuration file.
[Sysname] quit
<Sysname> save
