Usage guidelines

CAUTION:
In IRF mode, an IRF member ID change can invalidate member ID relevant settings
(including interface and file path settings) and even cause data loss. Be sure you fully
understand its impact on your live network.
Before enabling IRF mode, you must use the irf member command to assign a unique member ID
to each member device in standalone mode. If two member devices have the same member ID,
they cannot join the same IRF fabric.
After IRF mode is enabled, change member IDs before making any other configuration.
After an IRF fabric is formed, make sure you understand the impact of the member ID change on
your network.
The new IRF member ID, including the one set by using the undo irf member renumber command,
takes effect after you reboot the member device.
To cancel the change before you reboot the member device, use the undo irf member renumber
command. This command loses effect after you reboot the member device.
Examples
# Change the member ID of an IRF member from 2 to 4.

[Sysname] irf member 2 renumber 4
Renumbering the member ID may result in configuration change or loss. Continue?[Y/N]y
# Before rebooting the device, cancel the change in the preceding example.
[Sysname] undo irf member 2 renumber
Renumbering the member ID may result in configuration change or loss. Continue?[Y/N]y
