  • Page 8: Preparing For Installation

    Preparing for installation The S6860 switch series includes the following models: • S6860-54HF • S6860-54HT • S6860-30HF 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: Cleanliness

    • 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. • High temperature can accelerate the aging of insulation materials and significantly lower the reliability and lifespan of the switch.

  • Page 10: Laser Safety

    • To prevent signal ports from getting damaged by overvoltage or overcurrent caused by lightning strikes, route interface cables only indoors. Laser safety WARNING! Do not stare into any fiber port when the switch has power. The laser light emitted from the optical fiber might hurt your eyes.

  • Page 20: Mounting The Switch In The Rack

    Mounting the switch in the rack The rack-mounting procedure is similar for the switches. The following procedure mounts an S6860-54HF 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 21: Grounding The Switch By Using A Grounding Strip

    • Correctly connecting the grounding cable is crucial to lightning protection and EMI protection. For information about lightning protection for the switch, see H3C Lightning Protection Guide. • Do not connect the grounding cable to a fire main or lightning rod.

  • Page 35: Setting Up An Irf Fabric

    Setting up an IRF fabric You can use H3C IRF technology to connect and virtualize S6860 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 from 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 S6860 switches into the IRF fabric to increase the switching capacity without any topology change or replacement.

  • Page 37: Planning Irf Topology And Connections

    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. Planning IRF topology and connections You can create an IRF fabric in daisy chain topology, or more reliably, ring topology. In ring topology, the failure of one IRF link does not cause the IRF fabric to split as in daisy chain topology.

  • Page 38: Identifying Physical Irf Ports On The Member Switches

  • Page 39 The following subsections describe several H3C recommended IRF connection schemes, and all these schemes use a ring topology. 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.

  • 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 S6860 Switch Series Fundamentals Configuration Guide.) Verify that you can manage all member switches as if they were one node.
