    Operation Manual – IRF Fabric H3C S5600 Series Ethernet Switches-Release 1510 Chapter 1 IRF Fabric Configuration Chapter 1 IRF Fabric Configuration 1.1 Overview 1.1.1 Introduction to IRF Several IRF (intelligent resilient framework) supported switches of the same model can be interconnected to form a fabric, in which each switch is a unit. The ports used to interconnect all the units are called fabric ports, and the other ports that are used to connect the fabric to users are called user ports.
