NOTE:
Wear an ESD-preventive wrist strap when you connect SFP IRF modules or SFP transceiver modules and
fibers. For how to connect them, see the
H3C Pluggable SFP/SFP+/XFP Transceiver Modules Installation
Guide.
Accessing the IRF fabric to verify the configuration
When you are finished configuring basic IRF settings and connecting IRF ports, follow these steps to
verify the basic functionality of the IRF fabric:
Step1 Log in to the IRF fabric through the console port of any member switch.
Step2 Create a Layer 3 interface, assign it an IP address, and make sure that the IRF fabric and the remote
network management station can reach each other.
Step3 Use Telnet, web or SNMP to access the IRF fabric from the network management station. (See the H3C
S3600V2 Switch Series Fundamentals Configuration Guide.)
Step4 Check that you can manage all member switches as if they were one node.
Step5 Display the running status of the IRF fabric by using the commands in Table 5 .

NOTE:
To avoid IP address collision and network problems, configure at least one multi-active detection (MAD)
mechanism to detect the presence of multiple identical IRF fabrics and handle collisions. For more
information about MAD detection, see the H3C S3600V2 Switch Series IRF Configuration Guide.
