  • Page 34 You connect the IRF member switches through IRF ports, the logical interfaces for the connections between IRF member switches. Each IRF member switch has two IRF ports: IRF-port 1 and IRF-port 2. To use an IRF port, you must bind a minimum of one physical port to it. When connecting two neighboring IRF member switches, you must connect the physical ports of IRF-port 1 on one switch to the physical ports of IRF-port 2 on the other switch.
  • Page 35: Identifying Physical Irf Ports On The Member Switches

    You can set up IRF links between HPE FlexFabric 5980 switches as follows: • Use a QSFP28 module and fiber or a QSFP28 copper cable to connect QSFP28 ports for a 100-GE IRF physical connection. • Use a QSFP+ module and fiber or a QSFP+ copper cable to connect QSFP28 ports for a 40-GE IRF physical connection.
