Configuring IP addresses

Brocade routers implement separate data and control planes. This architecture affects how you assign IP addresses. Table 44 outlines the interfaces to which you can assign IP addresses.

In this table, “In band” refers to an interface over which user packets are routed, while “Out of band” refers to an interface over which control packets related to system management are forwarded.

TABLE 44	Interfaces that can be given IP addresses
Interface		Associated physical port	Out of band or In band
Management interface		Ethernet 10/100/1000 port on active or	Out of band
		redundant management module
Any interface over which user packets		Any interface module port	In band
are routed
Any virtual interface over which user		Any interface port	In band
packets are routed
Loopback interface		–	In band
