FCX648S Switch#
erase startup-config
FCX648S Switch#
reload
Enter ‘
Yes
’ to reload the switch
Syntax: erase startup-config
CAUTION:
Use the
erase startup-config
command for new systems only. If you enter this command on a
system you have already configured, the command erases the configuration. If you accidentally do erase the
configuration on a configured system, enter the
write memory
command to save the running configuration
to the startup-config file.

After the switch reloads, access the configuration level of the CLI by entering the following command:
FCX648S Switch>
enable
FCX648S Switch#
config terminal
4.
Configure the IP address and mask for each switch. Replace the IP address and mask in the example below
with the value provided by the networking group for each switch. Use the
write memory
or
write mem
command to save changes.
FCX648S Switch (config)#
ip address 192.168.1.252 255.255.255.0
FCX648S Switch (config)#
write memory
Syntax: ip address <ip-address> <sub-net-mask>
5.
Set a default gateway address for the switch. Replace the IP address and mask in the example below with
the value provided by your networking group. You do not need to assign a default gateway address for
single subnet networks.
FCX648S Switch (config)#
ip default-gateway 192.168.1.1
FCX648S Switch (config)#
write mem
Syntax: ip default-gateway <ip address of default gateway>
IP Command Summary:
Syntax: enable [<password>]
Syntax: configure terminal
Syntax: [no] ip address <ip-addr> <ip-mask>
(OR)
Syntax: [no] ip address <ip-addr>/<mask-bits>
Syntax: ip default-gateway <ip-addr>
Assigning Passwords
By default, the CLI is not protected by passwords. To secure CLI access, Brocade strongly recommends
assigning passwords.
