View System view Default level 3: Manage level Parameters None Description Use irf-port-configuration active to activate IRF ports. After connecting the physical ports between two switches and bind them to the correct IRF ports, you must activate the settings on the IRF ports to merge the two switches into one IRF fabric. After an IRF port is activated, its link state in the display irf topology command output changes from DIS or DOWN to UP. You do not need to activate the IRF port settings if the configuration file that the switch starts with has included IRF port bindings or you are binding more physical ports to an IRF port after an IRF fabric is formed. The system automatically does the work. Activating IRF port settings can cause IRF merge and device reboot. To avoid configuration loss, follow this procedure to set up your IRF fabric: 1. Plan the IRF setup, including the IRF fabric topology, IRF fabric size, member ID assignment, and bindings of physical ports and IRF ports. 2. Change the IRF member ID of each switch to make sure they are unique in the IRF fabric. 3. Connect the physical ports between neighboring switches and make sure that the peer ports can reach each other. 4. Create IRF ports on each switch. 5. Bind the physical ports to the IRF ports on each switch. 6. Save the configuration to the next-startup configuration file on each switch. 7. Activate the IRF ports on each switch.

Description
Use
irf-port-configuration active
to activate IRF ports.
After connecting the physical ports between two switches and bind them to the correct IRF ports, you must
activate the settings on the IRF ports to merge the two switches into one IRF fabric. After an IRF port is
activated, its link state in the
display irf topology
command output changes from
DIS
or
DOWN
to
UP
.
You do not need to activate the IRF port settings if the configuration file that the switch starts with has
included IRF port bindings or you are binding more physical ports to an IRF port after an IRF fabric is
formed. The system automatically does the work.
Activating IRF port settings can cause IRF merge and device reboot. To avoid configuration loss, follow
this procedure to set up your IRF fabric:
1.
Plan the IRF setup, including the IRF fabric topology, IRF fabric size, member ID assignment, and
bindings of physical ports and IRF ports.
2.
Change the IRF member ID of each switch to make sure they are unique in the IRF fabric.
3.
Connect the physical ports between neighboring switches and make sure that the peer ports can
reach each other.
4.
Create IRF ports on each switch.
5.
Bind the physical ports to the IRF ports on each switch.
6.
Save the configuration to the next-startup configuration file on each switch.
7.
Activate the IRF ports on each switch.
Examples
To configure and activate IRF port 1/2:
# Create IRF port 1/2 and bind Ten-GigabitEthernet1/1/1 to it.
<Sysname> system-view
[Sysname] interface ten-gigabitEthernet 1/1/1
[Sysname-Ten-GigabitEthernet1/1/1] shutdown
[Sysname-Ten-GigabitEthernet1/1/1] quit
[Sysname] irf-port 1/2
[Sysname-irf-port1/2] port group interface Ten-GigabitEthernet 1/1/1
[Sysname-irf-port1/2] quit
[Sysname] interface ten-gigabitEthernet 1/1/1
[Sysname-Ten-GigabitEthernet1/1/1] undo shutdown
[Sysname-Ten-GigabitEthernet1/1/1] quit
# Save the configuration so the IRF port settings can take effect after the switch reboots.
[Sysname] save
