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.
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 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 configuration level of the CLI by entering the configure terminal command.
Brocade# configure terminal
Brocade(config)#
4. Configure the IP address and mask for the management interface by entering these commands.
Brocade(config)# interface management 1
Brocade(config-if-mgmt-1)# ip address 10.0.1.1 255.255.255.0
Syntax: enable [<password>]
Syntax: configure terminal
Syntax: interface management <num>
Syntax: [no] ip address <ip-addr> <ip-mask>
or
Syntax: [no] ip address <ip-addr>/<mask-bits>
Assigning IP addresses to an interface, virtual interface,
or loopback interface
You must assign an IP address to each interface and virtual interface over which user packets are routed. You can also assign an IP
address to a loopback interface, which is generally used for testing and diagnostic purposes.
You must use the serial connection to assign the first IP address. For subsequent addresses, you can also use the CLI through Telnet or
the Web management interface. Use Brocade Network Advisor to assign IP addresses to virtual routing interfaces only.
By default, you can configure up to 24 IP addresses on each interface, virtual interface, and loopback interface.
For example, to assign the IP address 192.22.3.44 and subnet mask 255.255.255.0 to Ethernet interface 1/1, do the following.
1. At the opening CLI prompt, enter enable.
Brocade# enable
