Setting up an IRF fabric
You can use HP IRF technology to connect and virtualize the switches into a large virtual switch called an
"IRF fabric" for flattened network topology, high availability, scalability, and manageability. For more
information about IRF, see HP 10500 Switch Series IRF Configuration Guide.
