Identifying physical IRF ports on the member switches

Identify the physical IRF ports on the member switches according to your topology and connection
scheme.
Table 7 shows the physical ports that can be used for IRF connection and the port use restrictions.

All physical ports to be bound to an
IRF port must have the same data
rate.
Physical ports on interface cards
and the front panel can be bound to
the same IRF port.
If a QSFP+ port is split into four
virtual SFP+ ports, the QSFP+ port
cannot be used as a physical IRF
port.
The physical ports must operate at
their maximum rate.
The ports on an LSPM4G4T6P
interface module cannot be used
as IRF physical ports.
