IP address configuration
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.
Brocade devices support both classical IP network masks (Class A, B, and C subnet masks, and so on) and Classless Interdomain
Routing (CIDR) network prefix masks.
∙
To enter a classical IP network mask, enter the mask in IP address format. For example, enter "10.157.22.99 255.255.255.0" for
an IP address with a Class C subnet mask.
∙
To enter a prefix number for a network mask, enter a forward slash (/) and the number of bits in the mask immediately after the
IP address. For example, enter "10.157.22.99/24" for an IP address that has a network mask with 24 significant ("mask") bits.
By default, the CLI displays network masks in classical IP address format (for example, 255.255.255.0). You can change the display to
the prefix format. Refer to the
FastIron Ethernet Switch Administration Guide
.
Devices running Layer 2 software
Use the following procedure to configure an IP address on a device running Layer 2 software.
1.
At the opening CLI prompt, enter enable.
device> enable
2. Enter the following command at the Privileged EXEC level prompt, and then press Enter . This command erases the factory
test configuration if still present.
device# erase startup-config
CAUTION
Use the erase startup-config command only for new systems. 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.
3. Access the global configuration level of the CLI by entering the following command:
device# configure terminal
4. Configure the IP address and mask for the device.
device(config)# ip address 10.22.3.44 255.255.255.0
5. Set a default gateway address for the device.
device(config)# ip default-gateway 10.22.3.1
NOTE
You do not need to assign a default gateway address for single subnet networks.
Devices running Layer 3 software
Before attaching equipment to a Brocade device running Layer 3 software, you must assign an interface IP address to the subnet on
which the device will be located. You must use the serial connection to assign the first IP address. For subsequent addresses, you also
can use the CLI through Telnet.
By default, you can configure up to 24 IP interfaces on each port, virtual interface, and loopback interface. You can increase this amount
to up to 64 IP subnet addresses per port by increasing the size of the subnet-per-interface table.
