Step Description
1.
Plan IRF fabric setup.
Plan the installation site and IRF fabric setup parameters:
•
Planning IRF fabric size and the installation site
•
Identifying the master switch and planning IRF member IDs
•
Planning IRF topology and connections
•
Identifying physical IRF ports on the member switches
2.
Install IRF member switches.
."
3.
Power on the switches.
N/A
4.
Configure basic IRF settings on
each switch in standalone
mode.
See
HP FlexFabric 11900 Switch Series IRF Configuration Guide
.
5.
Connect the physical IRF ports. Connect physical IRF ports on switches.
6.
Enable IRF mode.
See
HP FlexFabric 11900 Switch Series IRF Configuration Guide
.
7.
Verify the IRF settings.
Log in to the IRF fabric at any member switch and verify that you can
configure all member switches as if they were one node.
8.
Configure other settings in IRF
mode.
See
HP FlexFabric 11900 Switch Series IRF Configuration Guide
.
Planning IRF fabric setup
This section describes issues that an IRF fabric setup plan must cover.
Planning IRF fabric size and the installation site
Plan IRF fabric size and the installation site, using the following procedure:
1.
Use
HP FlexFabric 11900 Switch Series IRF Configuration Guide
as a reference to identify the
number of member switches that your system software version supports for an IRF fabric.
All member switches must use the same system software version.
2.
Select LPUs that can provide 10-GE/40-GE ports.
The switches require 10-GE/40-GE ports for IRF connection. For more information about LPUs, see
"
Appendix B FRUs and compatibility matrixes
."
3.
Select SFP+/QSFP+ transceiver modules and fibers for long-haul IRF connection, or select
SFP+/QSFP+/QSFP+ to SFP+ cables for short-haul IRF connection. Select 10Gbase-T twisted-pair
cables for short-haul IRF connection.
For more information about transceiver modules and cables, see "
."
4.
Plan the installation site.
Identifying the master switch and planning IRF member IDs
Determine which switch you want to use as the master for managing all member switches in the IRF
fabric.
