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. 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 following command.
Brocade# configure terminal
Brocade(config)#
4. Configure the IP address and subnet mask for Ethernet interface 1/1 by entering the following commands.
Brocade(config)# interface ethernet 1/1
Brocade(config-if-e10000-1/1)# ip address 192.22.3.44 255.255.255.0
Syntax: enable [<password>]
Syntax: configure terminal
Syntax: [no] ip address <ip-addr> <ip-mask> [secondary]
or
Syntax: [no] ip address <ip-addr>/<mask-bits> [secondary]
Use the secondary parameter if you have already configured an IP address within the same sub-net on the interface.
Enabling and disabling the interfaces
By default, all router interfaces are disabled. To enable an interface, enter the enable command at the appropriate interface configuration
level of the CLI. For example, to enable the management interface, enter the enable command at the management interface configuration
level of the CLI.
Brocade(config-if-mgmt-1)# enable
Syntax: enable
You can disable each of these interfaces using the disable command at the appropriate interface configuration level of the CLI. For
example, to disable the management port, enter the disable command at the management interface configuration level of the CLI.
Brocade(config-if-mgmt-1)# disable
Syntax: disable
Understanding management port functions
The management port performs specific functions and is subject to some limitations, as described:
•
Because the management port allows you to configure, monitor, and manage routers only, this port has the same limited
functionality as an IP host port.
