Enabling or Disabling IP Routing
Unlike the Cisco switches, there is no “ip routing” command in the Foundry/Brocade switch. If you do not want
the switch to perform Layer 3 operations (for example, routing between subnets) then you must remove IP
addresses associated to all but one router interface. Once there is more than one subnet defined in the switch
configuration the switch will route between them.
Use the procedure outlined in section C to remove the IP address associated to a router interface. You may also
choose to disable a router interface. To do so do the following:
To configure IP Routing:
1. Use your terminal emulation program or telnet into switch.
2. SwitchHostName >

3. SwitchHostName# conf t
4. SwitchHostName(config)# int ve x (where x is the router #)
5. SwitchHostName(config-vif-x)#
disable
6. SwitchHostName(config-vif-x)# exit
7. SwitchHostName(config)# exit
8. SwitchHostName# wr mem
9. SwitchHostName# exit
Creating Trunked Ports (Link Aggregation)
With the Foundry/Brocade switch you can trunk (aggregate) up to four ports. The default configuration from Avid
that supports trunking includes a trunk of ports 21 to 24. You can create multiple four port trunks.
Depending on what you are connecting to the trunk, you might have to change the load balancing algorithm of the
switch on the other end. For example, if you are connecting to an EtherChannel, change the load balancing to
support source-destination IP address.

The default aggregation file is compatible with ISIS link aggregation group connections and can be used on
SuperX and SX Brocade based switches.
To create trunked ports:
1. Use your terminal emulation program or telnet into switch.
