Before an IRF is formed, you need to manually number the twodevices respectively to avoid member ID collision.You are recommended to set the member ID for a newly added device in the following way:1) Plan the member IDs in advance. You can view the member IDs of an IRF, and find out an unusedID for the new device.2) If the device is already an IRF member, plug out the IRF cables.3) Log in to the device to be added into the IRF, and change its member ID to the unused ID found outin step 1.4) Configure the IRF port(s) and other optional parameters.5) Save the current configuration. Power off the device, connect the device with IRF cables and powerit on.Follow these steps to set a member ID for a device:To do… Use the command… RemarksEnter system view system-view —Set a member ID for a device irf member member-id renumbernew-member-idOptionalThe member ID of a devicedefaults to 1
