Description

 Planning the cabling scheme

2. Install IRF member

switches.

See "Installing the switch in a 19-inch rack".

3. Connect ground wires

and power cords.

See "Grounding the switch" and "Connecting the power cord."

4. Power on the switches.

N/A

5. Configure basic IRF

settings.

See HP 5900 Switch Series IRF Configuration Guide.

6. Connect the physical IRF

ports.

Connect the physical IRF ports on switches. Use SFP+ or QSFP+ transceiver

modules and fibers for long-distance connection. Use SFP+ or QSFP+ cables for

short-distance connection.

All switches except the master switch automatically reboot, and the IRF fabric is

established.

Planning IRF fabric setup

This section describes issues that an IRF fabric setup plan must cover.

Planning IRF fabric size and the installation site

Choose switch models and identify the number of required IRF member switches, depending on the user

density and upstream bandwidth requirements. The switching capacity of an IRF fabric equals the total

switching capacities of all member switches.

Plan the installation site depending on your network solution, as follows:

 Place all IRF member switches in one rack for centralized high-density access.

 Distribute the IRF member switches in different racks to implement the ToR access solution for a data

center.

NOTE:

 As your business grows, you can plug an HP 5900 switch into an IRF fabric to increase the switching capacity

without any topology change or replacement.

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.

An IRF fabric has only one master switch. You configure and manage all member switches in the IRF fabric

at the command line interface of the master switch.

NOTE:

IRF member switches will automatically elect a master. You can affect the election result by assigning a

high member priority to the intended master switch. For more information about master election, see

5900 Switch Series IRF Configuration Guide

Prepare an IRF member ID assignment scheme. An IRF fabric uses member IDs to uniquely identify and

manage its members, and you must assign each IRF member switch a unique member ID.
