Member priority
Member priority determines the possibility of a member device to be elected the master. A member
with higher priority is more likely to be elected the master.
Interface naming conventions
Physical interfaces include uplink ports, downlink ports, and crosslink ports.
A physical interface is named in the
slot-number
/
subslot-number
/
port-index
format.
•
slot-number
—IRF member ID of the switch module. This argument defaults to 1. The IRF
member ID always takes effect, whether or not the module has formed an IRF fabric with other
switch modules. If the module is alone, the module is considered to be a single-member IRF
fabric.
•
subslot-number
—The subslot number of the uplink ports on the front panel is fixed at 1. The
subslot number of the downlink ports and crosslink ports on the rear panel is fixed at 0.
•
port-index
—Port index of the interface. To identify the port index, see
Figure 5 Port indexes
For example:
•
On the single-member IRF fabric
Sysname
, FortyGigE 1/1/1 represents the first uplink port on
the front panel. Set its link type to trunk, as follows:
<Sysname> system-view
[Sysname] interface fortygige 1/1/1
[Sysname-FortyGigE1/1/1] port link-type trunk
•
On the multi-member IRF fabric
Master
, FortyGigE 3/1/1 represents the first uplink port on the
front panel of member device 3. Set its link type to trunk, as follows:
<Master> system-view
[Master] interface fortygige 3/1/1
[Master-FortyGigE3/1/1] port link-type trunk
File system naming conventions
On a single-member fabric, you can use its storage device name to access its file system.
