Examples of supported configurations
B
FIPS
To maintain security while in FIPs mode, these devices will not function if FIPs mode is enabled. If
these devices are configured and you try to enter FIPs mode, an error will occur. You must delete
the configuration of these devices prior to entering FIPs mode.
Examples of supported configurations
The examples below demonstrate how to set up your Brocade 7500 Extension Switches using two
different network scenarios. These are only examples and you should substitute the IP addresses
used in these examples for the ones given to you by your network administrator.
These examples use a Linux OS on the Management Station and routers. You must use the
commands appropriate for the operating system of your Management Station and routers.
Configuring a Management Station on the same subnet
This is an example of when the management station is on the same subnet as the GE ports on the
Brocade 7500 Extension Switches. Using the network diagram shown in Figure 83, the
configuration would be set up as listed below.
FIGURE 83 Management station on same subnet
1. Configure the management interfaces on the 7500 L1.
a. Configure the internal addresses for the inbd devices for CP and GE port (GE port 0 for this
example):
switch:admin> portcfg inbandmgmt ge0 ipaddrset cp 192.168.255.1 255.255.255.0
switch:admin> portcfg inbandmgmt ge0 ipaddrset ge 192.168.255.2 255.255.255.0
b. Add the route on the switch going to the management station.
switch:admin> portcfg inbandmgmt ge0 routeadd 192.168.3.0 255.255.255.0
2. Configure the management interfaces for the 7500 R1.
a. Configure the internal addresses for the inbd devices for CP and GE port (GE port 0 for this
example).
switch:admin> portcfg inbandmgmt ge0 ipaddrset cp 192.168.255.1 255.255.255.0
switch:admin> portcfg inbandmgmt ge0 ipaddrset ge 192.168.255.2 255.255.255.0
b. Add the route on the switch going to the Management Station.
switch:admin> portcfg inbandmgmt ge0 routeadd 192.168.3.0 255.255.255.0
