IRF fabric setup flowchart 

Figure4-1 IRF fabric setup flowchart 

 

 

To set up an IRF fabric: 

 

Step 

Description 

1. 

Plan IRF fabric setup. 

Plan the IRF fabric setup scheme based on the user network and device 
conditions: 

 

Planning IRF fabric size and the installation site 

 

Identifying the master switch and planning IRF member IDs 

 

Planning IRF topology and connections 

 

Identifying IRF physical ports on the member switches 

 

Planning the cabling scheme 

2. 

Install IRF member 
switches. 

See "

Installing the switch in a 19-inch rack

", "

Mounting the switch on a 

workbench

", or "

Mounting the switch on a wall

." 

3. 

Connect grounding 
cables and power 
cords. 

See "

Grounding the switch

" and "

Connecting the power cord

." 

4. 

Power on the 
switches. 

N/A 

5. 

Configure basic IRF 

See the IRF configuration guide or virtual technologies configuration guide for 

Start

Plan IRF fabric setup

Install IRF member switches

Connect the grounding cables 

and power cords

Power on the switches

Configure basic IRF settings

Connect the physical IRF ports

Subordinate switches reboot 

and the IRF fabric is 

automatically established
