Parameters

member-id: Specifies the ID of an IRF member. The value range for IRF member IDs is 1 to 4.

new-member-id: Assigns a new ID to the IRF member. The value range for IRF member IDs is 1 to 4.

Usage guidelines

	CAUTION: IRF member ID change can invalidate member ID-related settings, including interface and file path settings, and cause data loss. Make sure you fully understand its impact on your live network.

To have the new ID take effect, you must reboot the IRF member. To cancel the member ID change before you reboot the member device, use the undo irf member renumber command. In the command, set the new member ID to be the same as the old member ID.

When adding a device into an IRF fabric, you must assign a unique IRF member ID to the device. If its IRF member ID has been used in the IRF fabric, the device cannot join the IRF fabric.

Interchanging member IDs between IRF member devices might cause undesirable configuration changes and data loss. For example, the IRF member IDs of Device A and Device B are 2 and 3, respectively. After you interchange their member IDs, their port settings also interchange.

Examples

# Change the ID of an IRF member device from 1 to 2.

<Sysname> display irf
[Sysname] irf member 1 renumber 2
Renumbering the member ID may result in configuration change or loss. Continue?[Y/N]Y

# Before rebooting the device, cancel the change in the preceding example.

[Sysname] undo irf member 1 renumber
Renumbering the member ID may result in configuration change or loss. Continue?[Y/N]y

If you reboot the device after executing the irf member 1 renumber 2 command, the device member ID changes to 2 at system reboot. Using undo irf member 1 renumber cannot restore the member ID to 1. You must use the irf member 2 renumber 1 command to reconfigure the member ID.
