irf-port-number: Specifies  an IRF port on the member device. The  irf-port-number 
argument represents the IRF port index and must be 1 or 2. 
Usage guidelines 
To bind physical interfaces to an IRF port, you must enter IRF port view. 
Examples 
# Enter IRF-port 2/1 view. 
<Sysname> system-view 
[Sysname] irf-port 2/1 
[Sysname-irf-port2/1] 
Related commands

Usage guidelines 
After connecting the physical interfaces between two devices and binding them to the correct IRF 
ports, you must use this command to activate the settings on the IRF ports. This command merges 
the two devices into one IRF fabric.  
The system activates the IRF port settings automatically in the following situations: 
  The configuration file that the device starts with contains IRF port bindings. 
  You are binding physical interfaces to an IRF port after an IRF fabric is formed. 
Examples 
To configure and activate IRF-port 1/2 when the port is in DIS state: 
# Bind Ten-GigabitEthernet 1/0/1 to IRF-port 1/2.  
<Sysname> system-view 
[Sysname] interface ten-gigabitethernet 1/0/1 
[Sysname-Ten-GigabitEthernet1/0/1] shutdown 
[Sysname-Ten-GigabitEthernet1/0/1] quit 
[Sysname] irf-port 1/2 
[Sysname-irf-port1/2] port group interface ten-gigabitethernet 1/0/1 
You must perform the following tasks for a successful IRF setup: 
Save the configuration after completing IRF configuration. 
Execute the "irf-port-configuration active" command to activate the IRF ports. 
[Sysname-irf-port1/2] quit 
[Sysname] interface ten-gigabitethernet 1/0/1 
[Sysname-Ten-GigabitEthernet1/0/1] undo shutdown 
[Sysname-Ten-GigabitEthernet1/0/1] quit
