Activating IRF port settings
causes IRF merge and reboot. To
avoid data loss, save the running
configuration to the startup
configuration file before you
perform the operation.
12. Activate the configuration on
the IRF port.
irf-port-configuration active
After this step is performed, the
state of the IRF port changes to
UP. The member devices elect a
master, and the subordinate
device reboots automatically.
After the IRF fabric is formed,
you can add physical interfaces
to an IRF port (in UP state)
without repeating this step.
Enabling IRF auto-merge
When two IRF fabrics merge, you must reboot the member devices in the IRF fabric that fails in the master
election. The auto-merge feature enables the IRF fabric to automatically reboot all its member devices to
complete the merge.
This feature works only when it is enabled on both IRF fabrics that are merging.
This feature does not take effect on the IRF fabric merge that is caused by binding a physical interface to
an IRF port in IRF mode. You must manually reboot the devices that failed the master election to complete
the merge.
To enable IRF auto-merge:
