Setting up an IRF fabric
You can use HP Intelligent Resilient Framework (IRF) technology to connect and virtualize 3600 v2
switches into a virtual switch called an “IRF fabric” or “IRF virtual device” for flattened network topology,
and high availability, scalability, and manageability.
This chapter includes these sections:
• IRF fabric setup flowchart
• Planning IRF fabric setup
• Configuring basic IRF settings
• Connecting the physical IRF ports
• Accessing the IRF fabric to verify the configuration
