Power on the switches. Configure basic IRF See H3C S7500E-XS Switch Series IRF Configuration Guide. settings. Connect the physical IRF ports on switches. Use SFP+/QSFP+ transceiver modules and fibers for long-distance connection. Use twisted pair cables or Connect the physical SFP+/QSFP+ DAC cables for short-distance connection. -
Page 40: Planning Irf Topology And Connections
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 S7500E-XS Switch Series IRF Configuration Guide Prepare an IRF member ID assignment scheme. An IRF fabric uses member IDs to uniquely identify and manage its members, and you must assign each IRF member switch a unique member ID. -
Page 41: Identifying Physical Irf Ports On The Member Switches
"Appendix C Ports and LEDs." The following subsections describe several H3C recommended IRF connection schemes, and all these schemes use a ring topology.
