1.3.2 Setting a Unit ID for a Switch
On the switches that support automatic numbering, FTM will automatically number
the switches to constitute an IRF fabric, so that each switch has a unique unit ID in the
fabric. You can use the command in the following table to set unit IDs for switches.
Make sure to set different unit IDs for different switches in an IRF fabric. Otherwise,
FTM will automatically number the switches with the same unit ID.

By default, the unit ID of a
switch that belongs to no IRF
fabric is 1. The unit ID of a
switch belonging to an IRF
fabric is assigned by FTM.
Unit ID ranges from 1 to 8.
 Note:
If you do not enable the fabric port, you cannot change the unit ID of the local switch.
After an IRF fabric is established, you can use the following command to change the
unit IDs of the switches in the IRF fabric.
