If you swapped the IDs of any two members, their interface settings would also be swapped. By default, the member IDs of all switches are 1. To create an IRF fabric, you must assign a unique IRF member ID to each member device. Devices with the same member ID cannot join the same IRF fabric.

The new member ID takes effect at a reboot. After the switch reboots, the settings on all member ID-related physical resources (including common physical network ports) are removed and require reconfiguration, regardless of whether you have saved the configuration.

Planning the IRF fabric setup
Consider the following items when you plan an IRF fabric:
•
Hardware compatibility and restrictions
•
IRF fabric size
•
Master switch
•
IRF physical ports
•
Member ID and priority assignment scheme
•
Fabric topology and cabling scheme
For more information about hardware and cabling, see the switch installation guide.
Assigning a member ID to each IRF member device
CAUTION:
In an IRF fabric, changing IRF member IDs might cause undesirable configuration changes and even data
loss. Before you do that, back up the configuration and make sure you fully understand the impact on your
network. For example, all member switches in an IRF fabric are the same model. If you swapped the IDs
of any two members, their interface settings would also be swapped.
By default, the member IDs of all switches are 1. To create an IRF fabric, you must assign a unique IRF
member ID to each member device. Devices with the same member ID cannot join the same IRF fabric.
Perform this task before the IRF fabric is formed. To prevent any undesirable configuration change or data
loss, avoid changing member IDs after the IRF fabric is formed.
The new member ID takes effect at a reboot. After the switch reboots, the settings on all member
ID-related physical resources (including common physical network ports) are removed and require
reconfiguration, regardless of whether you have saved the configuration.
