NOTE
The default IP addresses and host names for the Brocade DCX-4S are:
– 10.77.77.75 / CP0 (the CP blade in slot 4 at the time of configuration)
– 10.77.77.74 / CP1 (the CP blade in slot 5 at the time of configuration)
ATTENTION
Resetting an IP address while the Brocade DCX-4S has active IP traffic or has management and monitoring tools
running, such as DCFM, Fabric Watch, and SNMP, can cause traffic to be interrupted or stopped.
1. Log in to the active CP as admin using the serial cable connection.
2. Set up the Brocade DCX-4S IP address by entering the ipaddrset -chassis command:
swDir:admin>
ipAddrSet -chassis
Enter the information at the prompts. Specify the -chassis IP address. The -sw 0 IP address is no longer valid on
this chassis.
NOTE
The addresses 10.0.0.0 through 10.0.0.255 are reserved and used internally by the Brocade DCX-4S. External
IPs must not use these addresses.
3. Set up the CP0 IP address by entering the ipaddrset -cp 0 command:
swDir:admin>
ipAddrSet -cp 0
Enter the information at the prompts.
4. Set up the CP1 IP address by entering the ipaddrset -cp 1 command:
swDir:admin>
ipAddrSet -cp 1
Enter the information at the prompts.
