6 Configuring IP addresses
Syntax: [no] ip address <ip-addr>/<mask-bits>
Assigning IP addresses to an interface, virtual interface, or loopback interface
You must assign an IP address to each interface and virtual interface over which user packets are routed. You can also assign an IP address to a loopback interface, which is generally used for testing and diagnostic purposes.
You must use the serial connection to assign the first IP address. For subsequent addresses, you can also use the CLI through Telnet or the Web management interface. Use IronView Network Manager to assign IP addresses to virtual routing interfaces only.
By default, you can configure up to 24 IP addresses on each interface, virtual interface, and loopback interface.
For example, to assign the IP address 192.22.3.44 and subnet mask 255.255.255.0 to Ethernet interface 1/1, do the following.
1. At the opening CLI prompt, enter enable.
Brocade> enable
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
After you enter this command, you will need to restart the system.
CAUTION
Use the erase
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
Syntax: enable [<password>]
Syntax: configure terminal
Syntax: [no] ip address
or
