Page 41: Planning Irf Fabric Setup
For more information about master election, see H3C S6820 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 42 You connect the IRF member switches through IRF ports, the logical interfaces for the connections between IRF member switches. Each IRF member switch has two IRF ports: IRF-port 1 and IRF-port 2. To use an IRF port, you must bind a minimum of one physical port to it. When connecting two neighboring IRF member switches, you must connect the physical ports of IRF-port 1 on one switch to the physical ports of IRF-port 2 on the other switch.
-
Page 43: Identifying Physical Irf Ports On The Member Switches
You can set up IRF links between S6820 switches as follows: • Use a QSFP28 module and fiber or a QSFP28 cable to connect QSFP28 ports for a 100-GE IRF physical connection. • Use a QSFP+ module and fiber or a QSFP+ cable to connect QSFP28 ports for a 40-GE IRF physical connection. - Page 44 Connecting the IRF member switches in one rack Figure 52 shows an example for connecting four IRF member switches in a rack. The switches in the ring topology (see Figure 53) are in the same order as connected in the rack.

Page 45: 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 S6820 Switch Series Fundamentals Configuration Guide.) Verify that you can manage all member switches as if they were one node. -
