Usage guidelines
To set up an IRF fabric, place all its member devices in IRF mode after configuring their member IDs,
priorities, and IRF port settings. In standalone mode, a device cannot form an IRF fabric with other
devices.
IRF generates packets on a device in IRF mode even if the device does not form an IRF fabric with any
other device. To protect system resources, set a device to operate in standalone mode after removing it
from an IRF fabric.
Examples
