IRF Fabric Configuration
1-9
 Note:
z Establishing an IRF system requires a high consistency of the configuration of each
device. Hence, before you enable the fabric port, do not perform any configuration
for the port, and do not enable some functions that affect the IRF (such as
TACACAS and VLAN-VPN) for other ports or globally. Otherwise, you cannot
enable the fabric port. For detailed restrictions refer to the error information output
by devices.
z When you have enabled fabric port function for a fabric port group, if you need to
change the fabric port group, you must disable the fabric function of the current
fabric port group before you execute the enable command on another group.
Otherwise, the system will prompt that the current fabric port group is in use, you
cannot change the fabric port group.
z As shutting down a fabric port directly may cause the fabric being removed and error
messages, do not perform such operations.
z To remove a fabric, you can simply remove the cables used to form the fabric or
disable fabric using the undo fabric-port enable command.
z You can shut down/bring up a port after you disable the fabric feature on the port.
