    • High temperature can accelerate the aging of insulation materials and significantly lower the reliability and lifespan of the switch. For the temperature and humidity requirements of different switch models, see H3C S6800 Switch Series Hardware Information and Specifications. Cleanliness Dust buildup on the chassis might result in electrostatic adsorption, which causes poor contact of metal components and contact points.

  • Page 48: Setting Up An Irf Fabric

    Setting up an IRF fabric You can use H3C IRF technology to connect and virtualize S6800 switches into a large virtual switch called an "IRF fabric" for flattened network topology, and high availability, scalability, and manageability. The S6800 switches are divided into the following groups. Only members in the same group can form an IRF fabric.

  • Page 49: 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 S6800 switches into the IRF fabric to increase the switching capacity without any topology change or replacement.

  • Page 50: 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 52 H3C S6800 Switch Series Hardware Information and Specifications. 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 Figure4-4 shows an example for connecting four IRF member switches in a rack by using QSFP+ cables and QSFP+ transceiver modules and optical fibers.

  • Page 53: 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 S6800 Switch Series Fundamentals Configuration Guide.) Verify that you can manage all member switches as if they were one node.
