IRF (Intelligent Resilient Framework) is an innovation from H3C. Hewlett-Packard has acquired the H3C switch-technology to build their new 5xxx series. This tutorial is based on the HP 5920AF-24XG Switch (JG296A) but it can be used also with 51xx/55xx switches.

IRF provides a simple, cost-effective solution to the issues that arise when use population exceeds the available network ports. With IRF deployed, one can add new members to the virtual IRF device, adding port density with minimal configuration of the new switches. IRF application scenario: Expanding system processing capabilities

Jan 8, 2018 · HPE スイッチをスタックする (2 台のスイッチを 1 台と見なす) 技術は、 IRF (Intelligent Resilient Framework) と呼ばれます。 この技術では、通常のスタックのような専用のスタックポート/スタックコードを必要とせず、 Ethernet ポートを使ってスタックを組むことができます。 つまり、Ethernet ポートとしてもスタックポートとしても利用できるわけです。 ただし、1000Base-T のポートでは IRF は構成できないようです。 稼働中スイッチ 1 台に …

Intelligent Resilient Framework (IRF) is a software virtualization technology. It connects multiple network devices through physical ports and performs necessary configurations. These devices are virtualized into a distributed device. IRF technology …

IRF physical port restrictions and cabling requirements: IRF port binding restrictions: MAD: FIPS mode requirement: Other configuration guidelines: Setup and configuration task list: Planning the IRF fabric setup: Assigning a member ID to each IRF member switch: Specifying a priority for each member switch:

To allow different IRF environments in one network and to ensure that only the switches form an IRF which are supposed to first define a unique IRF domain on the group of switches, configure on every switch.

Oct 9, 2010 · Intelligent Resilient Framework (IRF) is an innovative HP switch platform virtualization technology that allows dramatic simplification of the design and operations of data center and campus Ethernet networks.

How do you configure IRF on HPE A-Series switches? Intelligent Resilient Framework (IRF) is a software virtualization technology. It connects multiple network devices through physical ports and performs necessary configurations. These devices are virtualized into a distributed device.

This guide contains information regarding IRF configuration for the HP 5500 HI Switches.

The IRF technology creates an IRF virtual device from multiple low-end devices, and thus the IRF virtual device has a higher port density and bandwidth and costs lower than using high-end devices.
