Accessing the Brocade CEE Switch

After you log on to the switch, you can access the commands through a serial terminal port or a Telnet session. When you Telnet into the switch, you are prompted to enter a login name and password. When you log on to a switch supporting CEE, all of the 10 Gbps ports are disabled and must be enabled. Refer to the Fibre Channel over Ethernet Administrator’s Guide for information regarding feature configuration and management procedures.

Following is an example of logging in to a switch supporting FCoE and CEE.

telnet 10.32.152.21 switch login: admin Password:xxxxxx

switch cmsh – cmsh takes you to the CEE Brocade8000 CLI prompt. switch>

CLI command modes

Following are the main command modes for the Brocade FCoE hardware:

•EXEC

•Privileged EXEC

•Global configuration

•Interface configuration

•Feature configuration

•CEE map: switch (config-ceemap)

•Standard ACL: switch (conf-macl-std)

•Extended ACL: switch (conf-macl-ext)

•Console and VTY (line) configuration

Table 2 lists the main command modes, how to access each mode, the prompt you see in that mode, and how to exit that mode. The prompts listed use the default name switch.
