Accessing the IRF fabric
The IRF fabric appears as one device after it is formed. You configure and manage all IRF members at the CLI of the master. All settings you have made are propagated to the IRF members automatically.
The following methods are available for accessing an IRF fabric:
Local login—Log in through the console port of any member device.
Remote login—Log in at a Layer 3 interface on any member device by using methods including Telnet and SNMP.
When you log in to an IRF fabric, you are placed at the CLI of the master, regardless of at which member device you are logged in.
For more information, see login configuration in Fundamentals Configuration Guide.
