Enabling auto reboot for IRF fabric merge

When merging two IRF fabrics, you must reboot the member devices in the IRF fabric that has been
defeated in the master election. The auto reboot function enables the IRF fabric to automatically
reboot all its member devices to complete the merge.
This function can work only when it is enabled on both IRF fabrics that are merging.
The auto reboot function does not take effect on the IRF fabric merge caused by binding a physical
port to an IRF port in IRF mode. You must manually reboot the devices that have been defeated in
the master election to complete the merge.
To enable auto reboot for IRF fabric merge:
Step
1. Enter system view.
2. Enable auto reboot for IRF
fabric merge.

Configuring a member device description

You can configure a description for a member device to identify its physical location, or for any
other management purpose.
To configure a description for a member device:
Step
1. Enter system view.
2. Configure the description
of a member.

Configuring IRF bridge MAC persistence

An IRF fabric by default uses the bridge MAC address of the master device as its bridge MAC
address. This bridge MAC address is used by Layer 2 protocols, for example, LACP, to identify the
IRF fabric, and must be unique on a switched LAN for proper communication.
To avoid duplicate bridge MAC addresses, an IRF fabric can automatically change its bridge MAC
address after its master leaves, but the change can cause transient traffic interruption.
