Member ID change takes effect at the reboot of a device.
z
To view the current member ID of a device, use the
display irf configuration
command. The
member ID takes effect at the device reboot.
z
Member IDs are not only used to identify members of an IRF virtual device, but also used to
identify the port configurations on different members. Therefore, member ID change may cause
device configuration changes or even losses, so change member ID with caution. For example,
three members (of same device model) with the member IDs of 1, 2 and 3 are connected to an IRF
port. Assume that each member has several ports: change the member ID of device 2 to 3, change
that of device 3 to 2, reboot both devices, and add them into the IRF virtual device again. Then
device 2 uses the original port configurations of device 3, and device 3 uses those of device 2.
Configuring IRF Ports
Configuring the correspondence between an IRF port and a physical IRF port
IRF can run on a device only when IRF ports are bound with physical IRF ports.
For how to bind IRF ports and physical IRF ports, see
Correspondence between an IRF port and a
physical IRF port
.
