Recovering an IRF fabric
When the failed IRF link between two split IRF fabrics is recovered, all member devices in the
inactive IRF fabric automatically join the active IRF fabric as subordinate members. The network
ports that have been shut down by MAD automatically restore their original physical state, as shown
in
.

If the active IRF fabric fails before the IRF link is recovered (see

command on the inactive IRF fabric to recover the inactive IRF fabric. This command also brings up
all physical interfaces that were shut down by MAD. After you repair the IRF link, the two parts merge
