Setting up an IRF fabric
You can use HP IRF technology to connect and virtualize HP FlexFabric 5930 switches into a large virtual
switch called an "IRF fabric" for flattened network topology, and high availability, scalability, and
manageability.
To set up IRF links between two switches, use the 10-GE or 40-GE ports.
