Binding physical ports to IRF ports
To establish an IRF connection between two devices, you must bind at least one physical port to IRF-port
1 on one device and to IRF-port 2 on the other. For link redundancy and load sharing, bind multiple
physical ports to one IRF port.
Make sure the IRF physical ports are operating as Layer 2 interfaces. Layer 3 interfaces cannot be bound
to IRF ports. You can set a physical port as a Layer 2 or Layer 3 interface by using the port link-mode
{ bridge | route } command (see Layer 2—LAN Switching Configuration Guide).
In standalone mode, binding a physical port to an IRF port does not affect the current configuration of the
port. However, when the operating mode changes to IRF mode, the default configuration of the physical
IRF port restores, and you can only execute the shutdown, default, description, and flow-interval
commands on the physical port. For more information about these commands, see Layer 2—LAN
Switching Command Reference.

By default, no physical ports are
bound to any IRF port.
Repeat this step to assign more
physical ports to the IRF port.
Every IRF port can have up to
four physical ports.
Saving configuration to the next-startup
configuration file
Save the running configuration before converting to the IRF mode. The mode change requires a reboot,
which can cause all unsaved settings to be lost.
Perform the following task in any view:
