Command • Enter interface range view: { Approach 1: interface range { interface-type interface-number [ to interface-type interface-number ] } & { Approach 2: interface range name name [ interface { interface-type interface-number [ to interface-type interface-number ] } & ] • Enter interface view: interface interface-type interface-number 9.

Activate the IRF port configuration. irf-port-configuration active Remarks N/A N/A N/A N/A After this step is performed, the state of the IRF port changes to UP, the member switches automatically elect a master, and the subordinate switch automatically reboots. After the IRF fabric is formed, you can add more physical ports to an IRF port (in UP state) without performing this step. Accessing the IRF fabric The IRF fabric appears as one device after it is formed. You configure and manage all IRF members at the CLI of the master. All settings you have made are automatically propagated to the IRF members. When you log in to an IRF fabric, you are placed at the CLI of the master, regardless of at which member switch you are logged in. After that, you can access the CLI of a subordinate switch to execute a limited set of maintenance commands. The IRF fabric supports up to 8 concurrent VTY users. The maximum number of concurrent console users equals the total number of member switches in the IRF fabric.

After this step is performed, the state
of the IRF port changes to UP, the
member switches automatically elect
a master, and the subordinate switch
automatically reboots.
After the IRF fabric is formed, you can
add more physical ports to an IRF
port (in UP state) without performing
this step.
Accessing the IRF fabric
The IRF fabric appears as one device after it is formed. You configure and manage all IRF members at the
CLI of the master. All settings you have made are automatically propagated to the IRF members.
When you log in to an IRF fabric, you are placed at the CLI of the master, regardless of at which member
switch you are logged in. After that, you can access the CLI of a subordinate switch to execute a limited
set of maintenance commands.
The IRF fabric supports up to 8 concurrent VTY users. The maximum number of concurrent console users
equals the total number of member switches in the IRF fabric.
Accessing the CLI of the master switch
Access an IRF fabric in one of the following ways:
•
Local login
—Log in through the console port of any member switch.
