of errors
A fabric port of the
local switch is
connected to a
non-fabric port, or is
connected to a fabric
port that does not
have fabric port
function enabled.
Check the types of
the two
interconnected ports
on two sides. Make
sure a fabric port is
only connected to
ports of the same
type and the fabric
ports on both sides
are enabled with the

reached max units
it indicates that the maximum number
of units allowed by the current fabric is
reached

device or existing
devices in the fabric
different system

device directly connected to the
switch and the existing fabric name of
the fabric are not the same
Configure the fabric
name of the new
device to be that of
the fabric
different product
version
indicates the software version of the
directly connected device and that of
the current device are not the same
Make sure the
software version of
the new device is the
same as that of the
fabric
auth failure
it indicates error occurs when the
switch authenticates a directly
connected device. The error may
occur if the IRF fabric authentication
modes configured for the both devices
are not the same, or the password
configured does not match
Make sure the IRF
fabric authentication
modes and the
passwords
configured for the
both devices are the
same
Note:
Up to eight devices can be in an IRF fabric at a time.
