Chapter 1  IRF Fabric Commands

1.1  IRF Fabric Commands

1.1.1  change self-unit

Syntax

change self-unit to { unit-id | auto-numbering }

View

System view

Parameter

unit-id: Unit ID to be set to.

auto-numbering: Changes the unit ID automatically.

Description

Use the change self-unit command to change the unit ID of the current switch.

By default, the unit ID of a switch that belongs to no IRF fabric is 1. After a switch is added to an IRF fabric, it is automatically numbered through FTM function with its unit ID ranging from 1 to 8.

 

&  Note:

If you do not enable the fabric port, you cannot change the unit ID of a local switch.

 

Example

# Configure the unit ID of the current switch to be automatically numbered.

<H3C> system-view

System View: return to User View with Ctrl+Z.

[H3C] change self-unit to auto-numbering

1.1.2  change unit-id

Syntax

change unit-id unit-id1 to { unit-id2 | auto-numbering }

View

System view

Parameter

unit-id1: Current unit ID.

Unit-id2: New unit ID.

auto-numbering: Changes the unit ID automatically.

Description

Use the change unit-id command to configure the unit ID of a switch in an IRF fabric to a new value. By default, when a switch is added to an IRF fabric, it uses the automatically assigned unit ID.

l           If the modified unit ID does not exist in the fabric, the system sets its priority to 5 and saves it in the unit Flash memory.

l           If the modified unit ID is an existing one, the system prompt you to confirm if you really want to change the unit ID. If you choose to change, the existing unit ID is replaced and the priority is set to 5. Then you can use the fabric save-unit-id command to save the modified unit ID into the unit Flash memory and clear the information about the existing one.

l           If auto-numbering is selected, the system reserves the unit ID and sets the unit priority to 10. You can use the fabric save-unit-id command to save the modified unit ID into the unit Flash memory and clear the information about the existing one.

 

&  Note:

l      Unit IDs in an IRF fabric are not always arranged in order of 1 to 8.

l      Unit IDs in an IRF fabric can be inconsecutive.

l      It is recommended that you reboot the device after you change the Unit ID and synchronize the configuration.

 

Related command: fabric save-unit-id.

Example

# Change the unit ID of the switch from 6 to 4. Use the display ftm command to display information about each unit in the fabric.

1.1.8  fabric-port enable

Syntax

fabric-port interface-type interface-number enable

undo fabric-port interface-type interface-number enable

View

System view

Parameter

interface-type: Type of the port to be configured as a fabric port. Note that only GigabitEthernet ports can be configured as fabric ports.

interface-number: Number of the port to be configured as a fabric port.

Description

Use the fabric-port enable command to configure a specified port as a fabric port.

Use the undo fabric-port enable command to disable the fabric port function for a port. When the last fabric port on a switch is disabled, the fabric function is disabled globally.

 

&  Note:

l      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.

l      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.

 

Example

# Set GigabitEthernet1/1/3 port as a fabric port.

<H3C> system-view

System View: return to User View with Ctrl+Z.

[H3C] fabric-port GigabitEthernet1/1/3 enable

undo ftm fabric-vlan

View

System view

Parameter

vlan-id: ID of the IRF fabric VLAN, in the range of 2 to 4094. By default, the number of the IRF Fabric VLAN is 4093.

Description

Use the ftm fabric-vlan command to specify the VLAN that the switch uses for IRF fabric.

Use the undo ftm fabric-vlan command to restore the default VLAN.

You need to specify the IRF fabric VLAN before the IRF fabric is established. Moreover, the VLAN you specified must be the one that has not been created.

Example

# Specify VLAN 2 of the switch as an IRF fabric VLAN.

<H3C> system-view

System View: return to User View with Ctrl+Z.

[H3C] ftm fabric-vlan 2
