Basic port parameter configuration

NTP broadcast client configuration

Sample CLI commands to configure the NTP broadcast client.

Brocade(config-ntp)# ntp-interface management 1

Brocade(config-ntp-mgmt-1)# broadcast client

Brocade(config-ntp)# ntp-interface ethernet 1/5

Brocade(config-ntp-if-e1000-1/5)# broadcast client

Brocade(config-ntp)# ntp-interface ve 100

Brocade(config-ntp-ve-100)# broadcast client

Basic port parameter configuration

The procedures in this section describe how to configure the port parameters shown in Table 5.

All Brocade ports are pre-configured with default values that allow the device to be fully operational

at initial startup without any additional configuration. However, in some cases, changes to the port

parameters may be necessary to adjust to attached devices or other network requirements.

Specifying a port address

You can specify a port address for an uplink (data) port, stacking port, or a management port.

ICX 6430 and ICX 6450

Specifying a data port

The port address format is is stack unit/slot/port, where:

• stack unit—Specifies the stack unit ID. For the ICX 6430, range is from 1 to 4. For the ICX

6450, range is from 1 to 8. If the device is not part of a stack, the stack unit ID is 1.

• slot—Specifies the slot number. Can be 1 or 2.

• port—Specifies the port number in the slot. Range is from 1 to 24 (24-port models) or 1 to 48

(48-port models).

This example shows how to specify port 2 in slot 1 of a device that is not part of a stack:

Brocade (config) # interface ethernet 1/1/2

Specifying a stacking port

The port address format is is stack unit/slot/port, where:

• stack unit—Specifies the stack unit ID. For the ICX 6430, range is from 1 to 4. For the ICX

6450, range is from 1 to 8.

• slot—Specifies the slot number. Stacking ports are in slot 2.

• port—Specifies the port number in the slot. Stacking ports are 1, 2, 3, and 4.

This example shows how to specify stacking port 3 in slot 2 of unit 3 in a stack:

Brocade (config) # interface ethernet 3/2/3
