IRF Add new Member and how to replace a fault switch

[FrankM23]

Hi,

1. IRF Add new Member

we want to expand our current IRF Stack with a new member 5

                              Topology Info
 -------------------------------------------------------------------------
               IRF-Port1                IRF-Port2
 MemberID    Link       neighbor      Link       neighbor    Belong To
 1           UP         4             UP         2           cc3e-5f97-9798
 4           UP         3             UP         1           cc3e-5f97-9798
 3           UP         2             UP         4           cc3e-5f97-9798
 2           UP         1             UP         3           cc3e-5f97-9798

The new member has a different firmeware-version as the switches in the IRF stack, could that be a problem? What is the procedure to add a new member in a existing IRF Topolgy?

2. replace a fault switch

What steps are required to replace a faulty switch?

Thank you!

IRF members must all be part of the same switch family and run the same version of software.  Otherwise, they will not be able to be added to the IRF.
