easy-irf
Use easy-irf to bulk-configure basic IRF settings for an IRF member device.
Syntax

Parameters
member member-id: Specifies the member ID of a member device. The value range for the member ID is1 to 4.
renumber new-member-id: Specifies a new member ID for the device. The value range for the member ID is 1 to 4.The member device automatically reboots for the new member ID to take effect. If you do not specify this option, the command does not change the member ID.
domain domain-id: Specifies an IRF domain ID in the range of 0 to 4294967295. Assign the same domain ID to all devices you are adding to the same IRF fabric.
priority priority: Specifies an IRF priority in the range of 1 to 32. The greater the priority value, the higher the priority. A member with higher priority is more likely to be the master.
irf-port1 interface-list1: Specifies interfaces bound to IRF-port 1. The interface-list1 argument represents a space-separated list of up to 16 interface items. Each interface item specifies one interface in the interface-type interface-number form.
irf-port2 interface-list2: Specifies interfaces bound to IRF-port 2. A physical interface can be bound to only one IRF port. The interface-list2 argument represents a space-separated list of up to 16 interface items. Each interface item specifies one interface in the interface-type interface-number form.
Usage guidelines
This command bulk-configures basic IRF settings for a member device, including the member ID, domain ID, priority, and IRF port bindings.
The easy IRF feature provides the following configuration methods:
Interactive method—Enter the easy-irf command without parameters. The system will guide you to set the parameters step by step.
Non-interactive method—Enter the easy-irf command with parameters.
As a best practice, use the interactive method if you are new to IRF.
If you execute this command multiple times, the following settings take effect:
The most recent settings for the member ID, domain ID, and priority.
IRF port bindings added through executions of the command.
When you specify physical interfaces for an IRF port, you must follow the IRF port binding requirements in IRF Configuration Guide.
If you specify physical interfaces by using the interactive method, you must also follow these restrictions and guidelines:
Do not enter spaces between the interface type and interface number.
Use a comma (,) to separate two physical interfaces. No spaces are allowed between interfaces.
To remove an IRF physical interface from an IRF port, you must use the undo port group interface command in IRF port view.
Examples
# Bulk-configure basic IRF settings by using the non-interactive method. Change the member ID from 2 to 3, set the domain ID to 10, configure the member priority as 10, and bind Ten-GigabitEthernet 2/0/1 and Ten-GigabitEthernet 2/0/2 to IRF-port 1.
