Configuring basic IRF settings 

After  you install the IRF member switches,  power on the switches  and  then  log in to each IRF 
member switch to configure basic IRF settings, including their member IDs, member priorities, and 
IRF port bindings. 

For the approaches to accessing the switch, see login management in 

H3C S6805 & S6825 & S6850 

& S9850 Switch Series Fundamentals Configuration Guide

Connecting the physical IRF ports 

 

CAUTION: 

Wear an ESD wrist strap when you connect fiber or copper cables or transceiver modules and 
optical fibers. For more information, see the installation guide for the transceiver modules and 
cables. 

 

Use  fiber or copper cables or transceiver  modules and optical fibers to connect  the  IRF member 
switches as planned. 

Accessing the IRF fabric to verify the configuration 

To verify the basic functionality of the IRF fabric: 

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. For more 
information about the accessing method, see login management in 

H3C S6805 & S6825 & 

S6850 & S9850 Switch Series Fundamentals Configuration Guide

4.

NOTE: 

To avoid IP address collision and network issues, configure at least 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
