Connecting a Router to a Network Device Assigning permanent passwords The procedures in this manual are for qualified service personnel. By default, the CLI is not protected by passwords. To secure CLI access, it is strongly recommended that you assign passwords. The CLI contains the following access levels: • Privileged EXEC – This level is also called the Enable level and can be secured by a password.
PAGE 220
Configuring IP addresses NOTE You must set the super-user password before you can set other types of passwords. 4. Enter the following commands to set the port configuration and read-only passwords. Brocade(config)# enable port-config-password mustang Brocade(config)# enable read-only-password mustang NOTE If you forget your super-user password, see the Multi-Service IronWare Software Release 06.0.000 for Brocade MLX Series and Brocade NetIron Family.
PAGE 221
Configuring IP addresses For example, to assign the IP address 10.0.1.1 to the management module, use these steps. 1. At the opening CLI prompt, enter enable. Brocade# enable 2. Enter the erase startup-config command at the Privileged EXEC level prompt (for example, Brocade#), then press Enter. This command erases the factory test configuration if it is still present. Brocade# erase startup-config Syntax: erase startup-config After entering this command, perform a reload on the system.
PAGE 222
Understanding management port functions 2. Enter the following command at the Privileged EXEC level prompt, then press Enter. This command erases the factory test configuration if it is still present. Brocade# erase startup-config After you enter this command, you will need to restart the system. 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.
PAGE 223
Connecting the router to a network device • • • • You cannot enable and run routing protocols on the management port. You cannot configure routes from the management interface. The management port uses static IP routes from the interface routing tables. If you configure the redistribution of static or directly connected routes for a particular routing protocol, the protocol redistributes routes associated with the interface module ports, but not the routes associated with the management port.
PAGE 224
Connecting the router to a network device 3. Remove the metal cover from the port on the interface module. 4. Gently insert the fiber-optic transceiver into the port until the transceiver clicks into place. Transceivers are keyed to prevent incorrect insertion. Cabling a fiber-optic transceiver Follow these steps to cable a fiber-optic transceiver. 1. Remove the protective covering from the fiber-optic port connectors and store the covering for future use. 2.
