Electing a Master
When implementing a new IRF system, the member with the highest priority is electedOn the switch you want to be master, configure a high IRF priority number
If all members have the same priority:Member with the longest system up-time is electedMember with the lowest bridge address is elected
For an existing IRF system:The current master is electedThe other rules apply if the master is not available

Synchronizing Configuration Files
Initial synchronizationWhen the IRF system is established, subordinates synchronize their configuration with the master’s
Real-time synchronizationAll configuration changes are synchronized to the subordinates’ configuration files

ISSU — Upgrade Software without Service Interruption• The master’s standby MPU or an IRF member is
upgraded• Standby MPU becomes active, or the IRF member
becomes master• The formerly active MPU or former IRF member is
upgraded; other IRF members are upgraded• Optionally, the original MPU or master resumes
role

Configuring OSPF Graceful Restart
1. Enable OSPF restart on the switch and select the method (IETF standard or non-standard)
2. Enable the capabilities required by the method:IETF standard = Opaque LSAsNon-standard = LLS and OOB
3. Enable the capabilities on the switch’s neighbors (which then act as helper for any switch)

IRF Split Stack
• A failure physically disconnects members in the virtual system
• Two IRF systems are formed, each using the same IP addresses and configuration settings
![Page 32: Tb2385 groenveld expert_one irf_final](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061115/545bb5e6b1af9f96298b45d0/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)

Multi-active Detection (MAD)
• Detects multiple active IRF systems with the same global configuration
• Prevents address conflicts by allowing one active IRF system to function and placing the other in recovery state (disabling it)
• Initiates failure recovery
![Page 33: Tb2385 groenveld expert_one irf_final](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061115/545bb5e6b1af9f96298b45d0/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)

Prevent Address Conflicts and Recover the IRF System
Prevent address conflicts• MAD initiates an election between the two IRF systems• MAD places the IRF system that loses the election in recovery mode• MAD tries to repair link
Recover the IRF system• After the link is repaired, the IRF system in recovery mode reboots• The reconnected members establish the IRF system
