The four fixed SFP+ ports on
the front panel
Ports on the expansion
interface card on the rear
panel
An IRF port can use physical ports
distributed on different cards.

slot)
The four fixed SFP+ ports on
the front panel
Ports on the expansion
interface card on the front
panel
An IRF port can use physical ports
distributed on different cards.
The six fixed SFP+ ports (in two
groups) on the front panel:
The rightmost two SFP+ ports
in one group
The rest four SFP+ ports in the
other group
All physical ports of an IRF port must
be in the same group.

Planning the cabling scheme
Use SFP+ cables or SFP+ transceiver modules and fibers to connect the IRF member switches. If the IRF
member switches are far away from one another, choose the SFP+ transceiver modules with optical fibers.
If the IRF member switches are all in one equipment room, choose SFP+ cables.
Table 12 lists the SFP+ transceiver modules and SFP+ cables available for IRF connections.
