Setting up an IRF fabric You can use H3C Intelligent Resilient Framework (IRF) technology to connect and virtualize S5800 switches into a virtual switch called an "IRF fabric" or "IRF virtual device" for flattened network topology, and high availability, scalability, and manageability.
"Connecting the power Connect ground wires and power cords cord." Power on the switches For more information about IRF, see H3C S5820X & S5800 Configure basic IRF settings Switch Series IRF Configuration Guide. Connect 10GE physical IRF ports on switches.
NOTE: IRF member switches will automatically elect a master. You can affect the election result by assigning a high member priority to the intended master switch. For more information about master election, see S5820X & S5800 Switch Series IRF Configuration Guide Prepare an IRF member ID assignment scheme.

LSTM2STK SFP+ cable 7 m (22.97 ft) The following subsections describe several H3C recommended IRF connection schemes. All these schemes use a ring topology. IMPORTANT: In these schemes, all physical IRF ports are located on the same side. If physical IRF ports are on different sides, you must measure the distance between them to select an appropriate cable.

To bind the ports on an interface card to an IRF port, you must install the interface card first. For how • to install an interface card, see H3C S5820X & S5800 Series Ethernet Switches Interface Cards User Manual. Execute the display irf configuration command to verify the basic IRF settings.
Create a Layer 3 interface, assign it an IP address, and make sure that the IRF fabric and the remote network management station can reach each other. Use Telnet, web or SNMP to access the IRF fabric from the network management station. (See H3C S5820X & S5800 Switch Series Fundamentals Configuration Guide.) Check that you can manage all member switches as if they were one node.

Power module failure Fixed power module failure The S5800-56C, S5800-56C-PWR, S5800-32C-PWR, and S5800-32C switches use fixed power modules, and support three power input modes: AC input, RPS DC input, and concurrent AC and RPS DC inputs.

Table 37 Description of the power failure indication LEDs Mark Status Description System status LED The switch is powered off. The AC input is normal, and the RPS is in position or operating Steady green correctly. RPS status LED Steady yellow RPS input is normal, but AC input has failed or not connected.
For more information about the PWR1 and PWR2 LEDs on the front panel of the switch, see Table • For more information about the LEDs on a hot swappable power module, see H3C PSR300- 1 2A & • PSR300- 1 2D Series Power Modules User Manual, H3C LSVM1AC650 & LSVM1DC650 Power Modules User Manual, H3C LSVM1AC300 &...
Two lines of input on the PSR750-D power module are securely connected to OUTPUT1 and OUTPUT2 on the RPS1000-A3, and the dedicated RPS power cords provided by H3C are used. The positive (+) and negative (-) terminals of each RPS power cord are correctly and securely connected to the PSR750-D power module.
For more information about the LEDs on the OAP card, see H3C OAP Cards User Manual. • The OAP card LED (SLOT3) is steady green while the OAP card is correctly operating. If the LED behaves in any other way, verify the following items: The OAP card is compatible with the switch and can be installed in the OAP card slot.
Fixed fan failure The S5800-56C, S5800-56C-PWR, S5800-32C-PWR, and S5800-32C switches use fixed fans. If a fixed fan failure occurs, contact your H3C sales agent or service engineer for help and do not attempt to fix the problem yourself. Hot swappable fan tray failure The S5800-60C-PWR, S5800-32F, and S5800-54S switches use hot swappable fan trays.
