Connecting the IRF member switches in a ToR solution
You can install IRF member switches in different racks side by side to deploy a top of rack (ToR)
solution.
Figure4-6 shows an example for connecting four top of rack IRF member switches. The topology is
the same as Figure4-5.

Configuring basic IRF settings
After you install the IRF member switches, power on the switches, and log in to each IRF member
switch (see the fundamentals configuration guide for the switch series) to configure their member IDs,
member priorities, and IRF port bindings.
Follow these guidelines when you configure the switches:
•
Assign the master switch higher member priority than any other switch.
•
Bind physical ports to IRF port 1 on one switch and to IRF port 2 on the other switch. You
perform IRF port binding before or after connecting IRF physical ports depending on the
software release.
•
Execute the display irf configuration command to verify the basic IRF settings.
