A member with higher priority is more likely to be elected the master. The default member priority is 1. You can change the member priority of a member device to affect the master election result. Interface naming conventions An interface is named in the slot-number/subslot-number/port-index format, where: • slot-number-Represents the IRF member ID of the switch. The default is 1. The IRF member ID always takes effect regardless of whether or not the switch is part of an IRF fabric. • subslot-number-Represents the panel where the interface resides. The subslot number is 1 for the front panel and 0 for the rear panel. • port-index-Represents the ID of a port on the panel. To identify a port, look at its port index mark on the device panel. For example, Ten-GigabitEthernet 1/1/5 represents the fifth port on the front panel of a switch with an IRF member ID of 1. To set its link type to trunk, use the following command lines: system-view [Sysname] interface ten-gigabitethernet 1/1/5 [Sysname-Ten-GigabitEthernet1/1/5] port link-type trunk File system naming conventions On a standalone device, you can use its storage device name to access its file system. For more information about storage device naming conventions, see Fundamentals Configuration Guide. On an IRF fabric, you can use the storage device name to access the file system of the master. To access the file system of any other member device, use the name in the slotmember-ID#storage-device-name format. For example: To access the test folder under the root directory of the flash memory on the master switch: mkdir test Creating directory flash:/test...

Member priority
Member priority determines the possibility of a member device to be elected the master. A member with
higher priority is more likely to be elected the master.
The default member priority is 1. You can change the member priority of a member device to affect the
master election result.
Interface naming conventions
An interface is named in the
slot-number
/
subslot-number
/
port-index
format, where:
slot-number
—Represents the IRF member ID of the switch. The default is 1. The IRF member ID
always takes effect regardless of whether or not the switch is part of an IRF fabric.
subslot-number
—Represents the panel where the interface resides. The subslot number is 1 for the
front panel and 0 for the rear panel.
port-index
—Represents the ID of a port on the panel. To identify a port, look at its port index mark
on the device panel.
For example, Ten-GigabitEthernet 1/1/5 represents the fifth port on the front panel of a switch with an
IRF member ID of 1. To set its link type to trunk, use the following command lines:
<Sysname> system-view
[Sysname] interface ten-gigabitethernet 1/1/5
[Sysname-Ten-GigabitEthernet1/1/5] port link-type trunk
File system naming conventions
On a standalone device, you can use its storage device name to access its file system. For more
information about storage device naming conventions, see
Fundamentals Configuration Guide
.
On an IRF fabric, you can use the storage device name to access the file system of the master. To access
the file system of any other member device, use the name in the
slot
member-ID#storage-device-name
format. For example:
To access the
test
folder under the root directory of the flash memory on the master switch:
<Master> mkdir test
Creating directory flash:/test... Done.
<Master> dir
Directory of flash:
