 Note:
When an IRF fabric operates normally, you can regard the whole fabric as a single
device and perform configuration on it. Multiple switches constitute an IRF fabric.
Therefore, data transmission and simultaneous program execution among the
switches may cause the IRF fabric in a busy situation. When you configure the IRF
fabric, you may receive a prompt “Fabric system is busy, please try later…” which
indicates the fabric system does not perform your configuration properly. In this case,
you need to verify your previous configuration or perform your configuration again.
1.4 Displaying and Debugging IRF Fabric
Following completion of the above configuration, you can execute the display
command in any view to view device management and verify the settings. And you can
execute the reset command to clear the FTM statistics.
