Usage guidelines
This command is available in IRF mode. Changing the operating mode from IRF to standalone can cause
loss of the irf auto-update enable command configuration even if you have saved the configuration.
To join an IRF fabric, a device must use the same system software image as the master in the IRF fabric.
When you add a device to the IRF fabric, the software auto-update function compares the system
software versions of the device and the IRF master. If the versions are different, the device performs the
following tasks automatically:
1. Downloads the system software image from the master.
2. Sets the downloaded file as the system software for the next reboot.
3. Reboots with the new system software image to rejoin the IRF fabric.
For a successful update, make sure the device has efficient space for the new system software image.
If the device you are adding to the IRF fabric is incompatible with the software version running on the
master, the software auto-update function cannot work correctly.
If software auto-update function is disabled, you must manually update the device with the system
software image of the master.
