The system uses the space-separated format to match CPOS E1, E3, T1, and T3 interfaces and
uses the non-space format to match other types of physical interfaces.
If a string (except the string configured by using the
description command) matches a valid
interface name, the system converts that string. For example, if a VLAN exists with a name of
GigabitEthernet0/7 in standalone mode, the VLAN name will change to GigabitEthernetn/0/7 in
IRF mode. The n argument represents the IRF member ID.
IRF generates packets on a device in IRF mode even if the device does not form an IRF fabric with
any other devices. To conserve system resources, set a device to standalone mode after removing it
from an IRF fabric.
Examples
# Enable IRF mode.
<Sysname> system-view
[Sysname] chassis convert mode irf
The device will switch to IRF mode and reboot.
You are recommended to save the current running configuration and specify the configuration
file for the next startup. Continue? [Y/N]:y
Do you want to convert the content of the next startup configuration file flash:/startup.cfg
to make it available in IRF mode? [Y/N]:y
Now rebooting, please wait...
# Restore standalone mode.
<Sysname> system-view
[Sysname] undo chassis convert mode
The device will switch to stand-alone mode and reboot.
You are recommended to save the current running configuration and specify the configuration
file for the next startup. Continue? [Y/N]:y
