Assigning an IP address to a virtual routing interface
A virtual interface is a logical port associated with a Layer 3 Virtual LAN (VLAN) configured on a Layer 3 device. You can configure
routing parameters on the virtual interface to enable the Layer 3 device to route protocol traffic from one Layer 3 VLAN to the other,
without using an external router.
NOTE
The device uses the lowest MAC address on the device (the MAC address of port 1 or 1/1/1) as the MAC address for all ports
within all virtual interfaces you configure on the device.
Enter commands similar to the following to add a virtual interface to a VLAN and configure an IP address on the interface.
Brocade(config)# vlan 2 name IP-Subnet_10.1.2.1/24
Brocade(config-vlan-2)# untag 1/1/1 to 1/1/4
Brocade(config-vlan-2)# router-interface ve1
Brocade(config-vlan-2)# interface ve1
Brocade(config-vif-1)# ip address 10.1.2.1/24
The first two commands in this example create a Layer 3 protocol-based VLAN named "IP-Subnet_10.1.2.1/24" and add a range of
untagged ports to the VLAN. The
router-interface
command creates virtual interface 1 as the routing interface for the VLAN. The last
two commands change to the interface configuration level for the virtual interface and assign an IP address to the interface.
Syntax:
router-interface ve
num
Syntax:
interface ve
num
Deleting an IP address
Enter a command similar to the following to delete an IP address.
Brocade(config-if-1/1/1)# no ip address 10.1.2.1
This command deletes IP address 10.1.2.1. You do not need to enter the subnet mask.
To delete all IP addresses from an interface, enter the following command.
Brocade(config-if-1/1/1)# no ip address *
Syntax:
[no] ip address
{
ip-addr
|
*
}
