IRF stack management
The HP V1910 IRF stack management feature enables you to configure and monitor a stack of connected
HP V1910 switches by logging in to one switch in the stack, as shown in Figure 20.
IMPORTANT:
The HP V1910 IRF stack management feature does not provide the functions of HP Intelligent Resilient
Framework (IRF) technology. To avoid confusion, IRF stack management is simply called stack
management in this document.
Figure 20 Network diagram for stack management
To set up a stack, you must log in to one switch to create the stack, and this switch is the master for the
stack, and you configure and monitor all other member switches on the master switch. The ports that
connect the stack member switches are called stack ports.
