Setting up an IRF fabric

You can use HP IRF technology to connect and virtualize HP FlexFabric 12900 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 12900 Switch Series IRF Configuration

Guide.
