1.3.3 Specifying the Fabric Port of a Switch
An S5600 series switch has two Cascade ports, which are used to connect the devices
within a Fabric. It is necessary to enable the Fabric function for the Cascade ports and
use local UP port to connect peer DOWN port or use local DOWN port to connect peer
UP port. Otherwise, the Fabric cannot function normally.

Note:
z
Establishing an IRF system requires a high consistency of the configuration of each
device. Hence, before you enable the fabric port, do not perform any configuration
for the port, and do not enable some functions that affect the IRF (such as
TACACAS and BGP) for other ports or globally. Otherwise, you cannot enable the
fabric port. For detailed restrictions refer to the error information output by devices.
z
As shutting down a fabric port directly may cause the fabric being removed and error
messages, do not perform such operations.
z
To remove a fabric, you can simply remove the cables used to form the fabric or
disable fabric using the undo fabric-port enable command.
z
You can shut down/bring up a port after you disable the fabric feature on the port.
1.3.4 Assigning a Unit Name to a Switch
