To assign an IP address, you must have access to the command line interface (CLI). The CLI is a text-
based interface that can be accessed through a direct serial connection to the device and through
Telnet connections. The CLI is described in detail in the FastIron Ethernet Switch Administration
Guide.
Access the CLI by connecting to the console port. After you assign an IP address, you can access the
system through Telnet, the Web management interface, or Brocade Network Advisor.
Use the following steps to attach a management station to the console port.
