Specifying a priority for each member device
IRF member priority represents the possibility for a device to be elected the master in an IRF fabric. The
higher the priority, the higher the possibility.
A member priority change affects the election result at the next master election, but it does not cause
immediate master re-election.

Connecting physical IRF ports
When you connect two neighboring IRF members, connect the physical ports of IRF-port 1 on one
member to the physical ports of IRF-port 2 on the other, as shown in
Figure 10
.
Suppose you have four chassis: A, B, C, and D. IRF-port 1 and IRF-port 2 are represented by A1 and A2
on chassis A, represented by B1 and B2 on chassis B, and so on. To connect the four chassis into a ring
topology of A-B-C-D(A), the IRF link cabling scheme must be one of the following:
•
A1-B2, B1-C2, C1-D2, and D1-A2.
•
A2-B1, B2-C1, C2-D1, and D2-A1.
IMPORTANT:
No intermediate devices are allowed between neighboring members.
