    Turn on the circuit breaker and observe the power status LED on the front panel. If the LED is on, power is being supplied to the switch correctly. Figure2-8 Connecting an AC power cord for an IE4300-12P-AC switch NOTE: The wire colors in the preceding figure are for illustration only.
  • Page 19: Verifying The Installation

    Using a flat-head screwdriver, loosen the screws on the terminal block connected to the power receptacle. Then remove the terminal block. Verify that the switch is disconnected from the power source. Orient the terminal block with upside up and identify the positive (+) and negative (-) connections on the terminal block.

You can use the emulator program to connect a network device, a Telnet site, or an SSH site.
  • Page 25: Setting Up An Irf Fabric

    Setting up an IRF fabric The IE4300-12P-AC and IE4300-12P-PWR switches support the H3C Intelligent Resilient Framework (IRF) technology. IRF technology can virtualize multiple physical devices at the same layer into one virtual fabric called an "IRF fabric" to provide flattened network topology, and high availability, scalability, and manageability.
  • Page 26: Planning Irf Fabric Setup

    To set up an IRF fabric: Step Description Plan the following items for setting up an IRF fabric: • IRF fabric size • Installation scheme • Master switch Plan IRF fabric setup • IRF member IDs • IRF physical ports •...
  • Page 27: Master Switch

    NOTE: An IRF fabric is highly scalable. You can easily add new member devices to an IRF fabric after the fabric is set up. Master switch IRF uses two member roles: master and standby. When devices form an IRF fabric, they elect a master to manage and control the IRF fabric, and all the other devices back up the master.

    SFP port—GE SFP fiber transceiver module and optical fiber, GE SFP copper transceiver module and twisted pair cable or GE SFP cable. For the available transceiver modules and cables, see ports in IE4300-12P-AC & IE4300-12P-PWR Industrial Switches Hardware Information and Specifications.
  • Page 29: Configuring Basic Irf Settings

    Configuring basic IRF settings After you install the IRF member switches, power on and log in to each member switch to configure basic IRF settings, including the member ID, member priority (affecting the result of the master selection), and bindings between IRF interfaces and IRF physical ports. For information about logging in to the switch, see login management configuration in Fundamentals Configuration Guide in the set of configuration guides for the switch series.
  • Page 30 NOTE: IRF split occurs when an IRF fabric breaks up into multiple IRF fabrics because of IRF link failures. The split IRF fabrics operate with the same IP address. IRF split causes routing and forwarding problems on the network. To quickly detect a multi-active collision, configure a minimum of one MAD mechanism.
  • Page 31: Maintenance And Troubleshooting

    Maintenance and troubleshooting WARNING! An IE4300-12P-AC switch must be installed, used, and maintained in an area restricted only for trained and qualified technical engineers. Power failure An IE4300-12P-AC switch has an AC power receptacle. An IE4300-12P-PWR switch uses two DC power receptacles.
  • Page 32: Configuration Terminal Display Issues

    Configuration terminal display issues No display on the configuration terminal Symptom The switch starts up but the configuration terminal does not have any display. Resolution To resolve the issue: Verify that the power supply is supplying power correctly to the switch. Verify that the console cable is connected correctly.
