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, as follows:
1.
Use
HP FlexFabric 12900 Switch Series IRF Configuration Guide

number of member switches that your system software version supports for an HP FlexFabric
12900 IRF fabric.
2.
Choose HP FlexFabric 12900 switch models for your network.
An HP FlexFabric 12900 IRF fabric supports up to four member switches.
3.
Select LPUs that can provide 10-GE/40-GE ports.
The HP FlexFabric 12900 switch series requires 10-GE/40-GE ports for IRF connection. For more
information about the LPUs, see "
Appendix B FRUs and compatibility matrixes
4.
Select SFP+/QSFP+ transceiver modules and fibers for long-haul IRF connection. Select
SFP+/QSFP+/QSFP+ to SFP+ cables for short-haul IRF connection.
For more information about transceiver modules and cables, see "
