CLI of the master switch. IRF member switches 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 S6520XE-HI Switch Series Virtual Technologies Configuration Guide. -
Page 33: Planning Irf Topology And Connections
Planning IRF topology and connections You can create an IRF fabric in daisy chain topology or more reliable ring topology. In ring topology, the failure of one IRF link does not cause the IRF fabric to split as in daisy chain topology. Instead, the IRF fabric changes to a daisy chain topology without interrupting network services. -
Page 34: 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. IMPORTANT: In these schemes, all physical IRF ports are located on the same side. If physical IRF ports are on different sides, you must measure the distance between them to select an appropriate cable. - Page 35 Figure 33 Connecting the switches in one rack Figure 34 IRF fabric topology Connecting the IRF member switches in a ToR solution You can install IRF member switches in different racks side by side to deploy a top of rack (ToR) solution.

Page 36: Configuring Basic Irf Settings
To bind the ports on an interface card to an IRF port, you must install the interface card first. • Execute the display irf configuration command to verify the basic IRF settings. For more information about configuring basic IRF settings, see H3C S6520XE-HI Switch Series Virtual Technologies Configuration Guide. Connecting the physical IRF ports Use twisted pair/SFP+/QSFP+/QSFP+ to SFP+ cables or SFP+/QSFP+ transceiver modules and fibers to connect the IRF member switches as planned. -
