Setting up an IRF fabric

IMPORTANT:
• IRF is available only for Release 1505 and later versions.
• An S5120-SI switch cannot form an IRF fabric with non-S5120-SI switches.
You can use H3C IRF technology to connect and virtualize multiple S5120-SI switches into a large
virtual switch called an "IRF fabric" for flattened network topology, and high availability, scalability,
and manageability.
