Setting up an IRF fabric

You can use Hewlett Packard Enterprise IRF technology to connect and virtualize multiple switches
into a large virtual switch called an "IRF fabric" for flattened network topology, and high availability,
scalability, and manageability.

To set up an IRF fabric:

Step Description

1.

Plan IRF fabric setup.

Plan the installation site and IRF fabric setup parameters:

x

Planning IRF fabric size and the installation site

x

Identifying the master switch and planning IRF member IDs

x

Planning IRF topology and connections

x

Identifying physical IRF ports on the member switches

x

Planning the cabling scheme

2.

Install IRF member
