1.3.3 Specifying the Fabric Port of a Switch
An S5600 series switch has two Cascade ports, which are used to connect the
devices within a Fabric. It is necessary to enable the Fabric function for the Cascade
ports and use local UP port to connect peer DOWN port or use local DOWN port to
connect peer UP port. Otherwise, the Fabric cannot function normally.

Note:
Establishing an IRF system requires a high consistency of the configuration of each
device. Hence, before you enable the fabric port, do not perform any configuration for
the port, and do not enable some functions that affect the IRF (such as TACACAS and
BGP) for other ports or globally. Otherwise, you cannot enable the fabric port. Refer to
the error information output by devices for the detail restricts.
