Setting up an IRF fabric

You can use H3C IRF technology to connect and virtualize S6861 switches into a large virtual switch
called an "IRF fabric" for flattened network topology, and high availability, scalability, and
manageability.
The switch can set up an IRF fabric only with switches of the same switch series.
The 10-GE and 40-GE ports on the switch can be used for IRF connections.
