This document introduces H3C's IRF2 technology and products. IRF2 allows multiple physical devices to be virtualized as a single logical device for high performance, reliability, and manageability. Key benefits of IRF2 include doubled performance through active-active operation, centralized management through a single configuration file, and fast recovery time through elimination of STP. The document discusses various H3C switch products that support IRF2 including the S12500 series, which can virtualize up to 32 physical chassis into one logical device.

Technology
Without IRF, all core and distribution With IRF, all core and distribution
devices are working as active and are working both active---two
standby---only one at the same time
devices as one logical device
Without IRF, all links are also active
With IRF, all uplinks are working in

• Aggregated devices are treated as one logical device, all members are managed
by master device (or master MCU in chassis switch).
• Only one configuration file works on the entire stack.

13. IRF2 Benefits
H3C Intelligent Resilient Framework
2 (IRF2) is a network virtualization
Enhanced
technology that virtualizes several
Performance Easy
physical switches into one logic
Management
switch. In a IRF2 system, the data
plane and switch fabric of all
IRF2 Fabric engines are active at the same time,
thereby providing a multiplied
+ =
Virtual switching capacity.
Switching IRF2 members are connected by
virtual switch channels (VSCs).
VSCs use standard 10 Gigabit
Ethernet connections (as many as
twelve 10G trunk) between the IRF2
Multi-service members. VSCs can carry regular
user traffic in addition to the control
plane communication between the
High IRF2 members without
Reliability compromising functionalities.

51. H3C Green Concept
Concise design
While ensuring product functionality and performance, reduce the physical dimensions of products
to minimize the use of materials; Reduce the techniques such as electroplating, printing, and
bronzing, and use texture mapping instead; Simple package design to minimize material use;
Re-use
Greater durability of products; Modular design and component standardization to reduce frequency
of structure change;
Recycling
Use recyclable materials and avoid the use of hazardous substances; Use homogenous materials,
and mark each type of material and its lifetime to facilitate recycling;
