NOTE:

• When you switch the operating mode, the switch automatically reboots to make the change effective.

• If the member ID of the switch is not set, you must first set the member ID for the switch, and then execute

the chassis convert mode irf command. To display the member ID of the switch, use the display irf

configuration command. If the MemberID field is displayed as —, the member ID of the switch is not se

yet.

• To switch the operating mode of the switch to standalone mode, use the undo chassis convert mode irf

command.

Accessing an IRF fabric

Accessing the active MPU of an IRF fabric

Access an IRF fabric in one of the following ways:

• Local login—Log in through the console port of a member switch.

• Remote login—Remotely log in at a Layer 3 interface on any member switch through Telnet or

SNMP.

When you log in to an IRF fabric, you are placed at the CLI of its active MPU, regardless of at which

member switch you are logged in. The active MPU of the IRF fabric is the configuration and control center

of the IRF fabric. You make configuration for the IRF fabric on the active MPU, and the IRF fabric

synchronizes the configurations to all standby MPUs in the IRF fabric.

Accessing a standby MPU of an IRF fabric

You can log in to the CLI of a standby MPU of the IRF fabric to display its configurations and debug the

standby MPU. When you switch from the active MPU’s CLI to the standby MPU’s CLI, you are placed in

the user view of the standby MPU and the command prompt changes to

<Sysname-Slave#member-ID/slot-number>, for example, <Sysname-Slave#1/0>. You can perform the

following commands at the CLI of the standby MPU of an IRF fabric:

• display

• quit

• return

• system-view

• debugging

• terminal debugging

• terminal logging

• terminal monitor

• terminal trapping

To return to the CLI of the active MPU of the IRF fabric, use the quit command.

Follow these steps to log in to the CLI of a standby MPU in the IRF fabric:
