Hi Guys,

As you know HPE FlexFabric 5700 is EoS and HPE released 5710 instead, I need to know if its also supporting enhanced irf with 5900/12900 as a parent switch?

if no, what is the replacement technology to do the same?


Thanks

Enhanced IRF (so called 'IRF 3') has been deprecated in 5700 series as well. You are pretty much locked to version 2418 if you still use it as more recent versions silently drop the feature.

HPE decided to go with IRF 3.1 wich in contrast to the IRF 3 is standard-based (I think it's based on IEEE 802.1BR). 5710 support IRF 3.1
