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 the
fundamentals configuration guide for the switch series.)
4. Verify that you can manage all member switches as if they were one node.

NOTE:
To avoid IP address collision and network problems, configure a minimum of 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 the IRF configuration guide or virtual
technologies configuration guide for the switch series, depending on the software version.
