Changing the member ID of a device
CAUTION:
In IRF mode, an IRF member ID change can invalidate member ID-related settin
g
s and cause data loss. Be
sure you fully understand its impact on your live network.
For a successful IRF merge, you must place a device in standalone mode before renumberin
g
it in one of
the following situations:
• The IRF physical ports of the device are 10-GE breakout ports that are divided from a 40-GE QSFP+
port.
• You are exchanging the member IDs of two devices. In this case, place both devices in standalone mode.
The new member ID takes effect at reboot. After the device reboots, the settings on all member ID related
physical resources (including common physical network ports) are removed and require reconfiguration,
regardless of whether you have saved the configuration.
