Figure 3 Troubleshooting IRF fabric establishment failure
Solution
To resolve the issue:
1.
Verify that the number of member devices does not exceed the upper limit.
If you are adding a new member device to an existing IRF fabric or merging IRF fabrics, use the
display irf
command to identify the number of member devices in the IRF fabrics. If the total
number of member devices exceeds the upper limit, the IRF setup will fail.
