Connecting Network Devices and Checking Connectivity
Configuring IP addresses
1. At the opening CLI prompt, enter the following command to change to the Privileged level of the EXEC mode.
TurboIron> enable
2. Access the configuration level of the CLI by entering the following command.
TurboIron# configure terminal
TurboIron(config)#
3. Enter the following command to set the Super User password.
TurboIron# enable super-user-password text
NOTE
You must set the Super User password before you can set other types of passwords.
4. Enter the following commands to set the port configuration and read-only passwords.
TurboIron(config)# enable port-config-password text
TurboIron(config)# enable read-only-password text
NOTE
If you forget your Super User password, refer to “Recovering from a lost password” .
Syntax: enable super-user-password | read-only-password | port-config-password text
Passwords can be up to 32 characters long.
Recovering from a lost password
By default, the CLI does not require passwords. However, if someone has configured a password for the device but the password has
been lost, you can regain Super User access to the device using the following procedure.
NOTE
Recovery from a lost password requires direct access to the serial port and a system reset.
Follow the steps to recover from a lost password.
1. Start a CLI session over the serial interface to the Brocade device.
2. Reboot the device.
3. While the system is booting, before the initial system prompt appears, enter b to enter the boot monitor mode.
4. Enter no password at the prompt. (You cannot abbreviate this command.)
5. Enter boot system flash primary at the prompt. This command causes the device to bypass the system password check.
6. After the console prompt reappears, assign a new password.
Configuring IP addresses
You must configure at least one IP address using the serial connection to the CLI before you can manage the system using the other
management interfaces. In addition,
Brocade routers require an IP subnet address for the subnet in which you plan to place them in your
network.
Brocade devices support both classical IP network masks (Class A, B, and C subnet masks, and so on) and Classless Interdomain
Routing (CIDR) and network prefix masks as follows:
