Use cables to connect the IRF member switches as planned.
Accessing the IRF fabric to verify the configuration
To verify the basic functionality of the IRF fabric after you finish configuring basic IRF settings and
connecting IRF ports:
1.
Log in to the IRF fabric through the console port of any member switch.
2.
Create a Layer 3 interface, assign it an IP address, and make sure the IRF fabric and the
remote network management station can reach each other.
3.
Use Telnet or SNMP to access the IRF fabric from the network management station. (See HPE
FlexFabric 5950 Switch Series Fundamentals Configuration Guide.)
4.
Verify that you can manage all member switches as if they were one node.
5.
Display the running status of the IRF fabric by using the commands in
Table 8 Displaying and maintaining IRF configuration and running status
Task
Display information about the IRF fabric.
Display all members' IRF configurations.
Display IRF fabric topology information.
NOTE:
To avoid IP address collision and network problems, configure at least one multi-active detection
(MAD) mechanism to detect the presence of multiple identical IRF fabrics and handle collisions. For
more information about MAD detection, see HPE FlexFabric 5950 Switch Series IRF Configuration
Guide.
