Page 8: Preparing For Installation
Preparing for installation H3C S6861 switch series includes the following models: • S6861-54QF • S6861-54QT • S6861-30QF Safety recommendations To avoid any equipment damage or bodily injury caused by incorrect use, read the following safety recommendations before installation. Note that the recommendations do not cover every possible hazardous condition. -
Page 9: Temperature/Humidity
Temperature/humidity Maintain appropriate temperature and humidity in the equipment room. • Lasting high relative humidity can cause poor insulation, electricity leakage, mechanical property change of materials, and metal corrosion. • Lasting low relative humidity can cause washer contraction and ESD and cause problems including loose screws and circuit failure. -
Page 10: Laser Safety
To prevent EMI, use the following guidelines: • If AC power is used, use a single-phase three-wire power receptacle with protection earth (PE) to filter interference from the power grid. • Keep the switch far away from radio transmitting stations, radar stations, and high-frequency devices. -
Page 11: Installing The Switch
CAUTION: Keep the tamper-proof seal on a mounting screw on the chassis cover intact, and if you want to open the chassis, contact H3C for permission. Otherwise, H3C shall not be liable for any consequence caused thereby.

Mounting the switch in the rack The rack-mounting procedure is similar for the switches. The following procedure mounts an S6861-54QF switch in a rack. This task requires two people. To mount the switch in the rack: Wear an ESD wrist strap and make sure it makes good skin contact and is reliably grounded. Verify that the mounting brackets and chassis rails have been securely attached to the switch chassis. -

Page 35: Setting Up An Irf Fabric
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. -
Page 36: Planning Irf Fabric Setup
Distribute the IRF member switches in different racks to implement the top-of-rack (ToR) access solution for a data center. As your business grows, you can plug H3C S6861 switches into the IRF fabric to increase the switching capacity without any topology change or replacement. -
Page 37: Planning Irf Topology And Connections
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 H3C S6861 Switch Series IRF Configuration Guide or H3C S6861 Switch Series Virtual Technologies Configuration Guide, depending on the software version. -
Page 38: Identifying Physical Irf Ports On The Member Switches
SFP+ cables, or QSFP+ cables. For more information about available transceiver modules and cables, see "Appendix C Ports and LEDs." The following subsections describe several H3C recommended IRF connection schemes, and all these schemes use a ring topology. - Page 39 Connecting the IRF member switches in one rack Figure 45 shows an example for connecting four IRF member switches in a rack by using QSFP+ cables and QSFP+ transceiver modules and optical fibers. The switches in the ring topology (see Figure 46) are in the same order as connected in the rack.

Page 40: Configuring Basic Irf Settings
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. Use Telnet or SNMP to access the IRF fabric from the network management station. (See H3C S6861 Switch Series Fundamentals Configuration Guide.) Verify that you can manage all member switches as if they were one node. - Page 41 (MAD) mechanism to detect the presence of multiple identical IRF fabrics and handle collisions.
