Page 47: Setting Up An Irf Fabric
Setting up an IRF fabric You can use H3C IRF technology to connect and virtualize S6520X-EI or S6520X-HI switches into a large virtual switch called an "IRF fabric" for flattened network topology, and high availability, scalability, and manageability. An S6520X-EI or S6520X-HI switch can set up an IRF fabric only with switches from the same switch series. -

For more information about master election, see H3C S6520X-EI & S6520X-HI Switch Series Virtual Technologies Configuration Guide. -
Page 49: 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. -
