I need to replace one member JG336A (copper) with JC772A (fibre)

What would be the required steps?

Thanks

I'm not 100% certain you can mix hardware models on IRF. In your case it would be the same family, but I have never tried different hardware. If you have support I would check this is possible before even starting.

If you find you can have that combination, you should make the new hardware have the same

• OS version
• IRF domain ID
• member ID
• IRF link config

as the one you are replacing. This needs to be complete before connecting to the IRF. After that it should be a simple case of connecting the right cables. Failure to have the right OS version might cause the IRF to not form or in the worst case would cause the existing members to reboot.

Maybe consider making the IRF member ID new, so that you end with a member with no interface config.

Ofourse they can be mixed, it is the same model, I currently have 4 member stack, 2 of each, but need to replace one copper port one with fibre port one

I will be rebooting the whole lot anyway

How can I configure member ID on a single switch? (as it comes it is a single switch)

Thanks

Hi to configure the IRF details just power up and use the console:

[switch9]irf member ?
  INTEGER<1-10>  Member ID

[fab1bs]irf member 3 ?
  description  Specify IRF member description
  priority     Specify IRF priority
  renumber     Specify a new member ID

Then when you install into the IRF, the connection forms correctly. Otherwise it will be ID=1

Ofourse they can be mixed, it is the same model, I currently have 4 member stack, 2 of each, but need to replace one copper port one with fibre port one

I will be rebooting the whole lot anyway
