On some devices, specific physical interfaces have been assigned to the IRF port by default. You
cannot modify or configure IRF port bindings. On some devices, you must assign physical interfaces
to IRF ports from the CLI.
Transceiver modules and cables selection for IRF
When you select transceiver modules and cables, follow these restrictions and guidelines:
•
Use straight-through or crossover copper Ethernet cables to connect copper Ethernet ports for
a short-distance connection.
•
Use transceiver modules and fibers to connect fiber Ethernet ports for a long-distance
connection.
•
The transceiver modules at the two ends of an IRF link must be the same type.
Support for transceiver modules and cables varies by device model.
For more information about the transceiver modules and DAC cables, see the switch installation
guide and
H3C Transceiver Modules User Guide
.
NOTE:
The transceiver modules and DAC cables available for the switch are subject to change over time.
For the most up-to-date list of transceiver modules and DAC cables, contact your H3C sales
representative.
IRF port connection
When you connect two neighboring IRF members, follow these restrictions and guidelines:
•
You must connect the physical interfaces of IRF-port 1 on one member to the physical
interfaces of IRF-port 2 on the other.
•
For high availability, bind multiple physical interfaces to an IRF port. You can bind a maximum of
two physical interfaces to an IRF port.
