Views System view Predefined user roles network-admin Usage guidelines To join an IRF fabric, a device must use the same software images as the master in the IRF fabric. The software auto-update function automatically propagates the current software images of the master in an IRF fabric to all its members. If software auto-update is disabled, you must manually update the device with the software images of the master before adding it to the IRF fabric. When you add a device to the IRF fabric, the software auto-update function compares the startup software images of the joining device with the current software images of the IRF master. If the two sets of images are different, the device performs the following tasks automatically: • Downloads the current software images of the master. • Sets the downloaded images as its main startup software images. • Reboots with the new software images to rejoin the IRF fabric. 8

Description
Current MAD status
MAD status:
Detect
—IRF fabric is integrated.
Recovery
—IRF fabric is in Recovery state. When detecting a multi-active
collision, MAD places the IRF fabric with higher master ID in Recovery state.
MAD also shuts down all physical ports in the fabric except IRF physical ports
and ports that are configured to not shut down.
Detect to Recovery
—State of the IRF fabric is changing from Detect to
Recovery, for example, as the result of an IRF split.
Recovery to Detect
—State of the IRF fabric is changing from Recovery to
Detect.
Excluded
ports(configurable)
Ports manually configured to not shut down when the IRF fabric transits to the
Recovery state.
Excluded ports(can not be
configured)
Ports by default set to not shut down when the IRF fabric transits to the Recovery
state.

Usage guidelines
To join an IRF fabric, a device must use the same software images as the master in the IRF fabric. The
software auto-update function automatically propagates the current software images of the master in an
IRF fabric to all its members. If software auto-update is disabled, you must manually update the device
with the software images of the master before adding it to the IRF fabric.
When you add a device to the IRF fabric, the software auto-update function compares the startup
software images of the joining device with the current software images of the IRF master. If the two sets
of images are different, the device performs the following tasks automatically:
Downloads the current software images of the master.
Sets the downloaded images as its main startup software images.
Reboots with the new software images to rejoin the IRF fabric.
