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. As a best practice, use SFP+/QSFP+ transceiver modules and optical fibers to connect the
IRF members in a ToR solution.
Figure 35
shows an example for connecting top of rack IRF member switches (9 switches in this
example) by using SFP+/QSFP+ transceiver modules and optical fibers. The topology is the same
as
Figure
34.
