15Configuration file auto-conversionWhen you change the operating mode of the switch from standalone to IRF, you can use theconfiguration file auto-conversion function to convert the startup configuration file to prevent some slot- orinterface-related configurations from becoming invalid. For example, this function can convert the slotslot-number parameter set in standalone mode to the chassis chassis-number slot slot-number parameterin IRF mode, and add the chassis ID in an interface number.Switching the operating mode to IRF modeTo switch the operating mode of the switch to IRF mode:To do… Use the command… RemarksEnter system view system-view —Switch the operating mode of theswitch to IRF mode chassis convert mode irfRequiredThe default operating mode isstandalone mode.NOTE:• To display the member ID of the switch, use the display irf configuration command.

The active MPU of the IRF fabric is the configuration and control centerof the IRF fabric. You make configuration for the IRF fabric on the active MPU, and the IRF fabricsynchronizes the configurations to all standby MPUs in the virtual IRF device.Accessing a standby MPU of an IRF fabricYou can log in to the CLI of a standby MPU of the IRF fabric to display its configurations and debug thestandby MPU. When you switch from the active MPU’s CLI to the standby MPU’s CLI, you are placed inthe user view of the standby MPU and the command prompt changes to
