Verifying the IRF fabric setup
To verify the basic functionality of the IRF fabric after you finish configuring basic IRF settings and
connecting IRF ports:
1.
Log in to the IRF fabric through the console port of any member switch.
2.
Create a Layer 3 interface, assign it an IP address, and make sure the IRF fabric and the
remote network management station can reach each other.
3.
Use Telnet or SNMP to access the IRF fabric from the network management station. (See the
fundamentals configuration guide for the switch series.)
4.
Verify that you can manage all member switches as if they were one node.
5.
Display the running status of the IRF fabric by using the commands in
Table4-2 Displaying and maintaining IRF configuration and running status
Task
Command

NOTE:
To avoid IP address collision and network problems, configure a minimum of one multi-active
detection (MAD) mechanism to detect the presence of multiple identical IRF fabrics and handle
collisions. For more information about MAD detection, see the IRF configuration guide or virtual
technologies configuration guide for the switch series, depending on the software version.

Maintenance and troubleshooting
Fixed power supply failure
To identify a power failure on a switch with fixed power supplies, examine the system status LED
(SYS) on the switch. If the system LED is off, an AC power input failure has occurred.
Symptom
The system status LED is off. An AC input failure has occurred.
Solution
To resolve the issue:
1.
Verify that the AC power cord is correctly connected to the switch.
2.
Verify that the AC-input power receptacle on the switch and the connected AC power outlet are
in good condition.
3.
Verify that the AC power source is operating correctly.
