Accessing The Irf Fabric To Verify The Configuration - HP 3600 v2 Series Installation Manual

NOTE:
Wear an ESD-preventive wrist strap when you connect SFP IRF modules or SFP transceiver modules and
fibers. For how to connect them, see the

Accessing the IRF fabric to verify the configuration

When you are finished configuring basic IRF settings and connecting IRF ports, follow these steps to
verify the basic functionality of the IRF fabric:
Log in to the IRF fabric through the console port of any member switch.
1.
Create a Layer 3 interface, assign it an IP address, and make sure that the IRF fabric and the
2.
remote network management station can reach each other.
Use Telnet, web or SNMP to access the IRF fabric from the network management station. (See the
3.
HP 3600 v2 Switch Series Fundamentals Configuration Guide.)
Check that you can manage all member switches as if they were one node.
4.
Display the running status of the IRF fabric by using the commands in
5.
Table 5 Display and maintain IRF configuration and running status
To do ...
Display information about the IRF fabric
Display all members' configurations that take
effect after switch reboots
Display topology information about the IRF
fabric
NOTE:
To avoid IP address collision and network problems, configure at least one multi-active detection (MAD)
mechanism to detect the presence of multiple identical IRF fabrics and handle collisions. For more
information about MAD detection, see the
SFP/SFP+/XFP Transceiver Modules Installation Guide
Use the command...
