Setting up an IRF fabric

You can use HP IRF technology to connect and virtualize the switches into a large virtual switch called an

"IRF fabric" for flattened network topology, high availability, scalability, and manageability. For more

information about IRF, see

HP FlexFabric 11900 Switch Series IRF Configuration Guide.
