Before attaching equipment to a Brocade ICX 6650 switch, you must assign an interface IP address to the subnet on which the router will be located. You must use the serial connection to assign the first IP address. For subsequent addresses, you also can use the CLI through Telnet or the Web management interface.

By default, you can configure up to 24 IP addresses on each port, virtual interface, and loopback interface. You can increase this amount to up to 64 IP subnet addresses per port by increasing the size of the subnet-per-interface table.

The following procedure shows how to add an IP address and mask to a router port.

1. At the opening CLI prompt, enter enable.

Brocade> enable

2.Enter the following command at the CLI Privileged EXEC level prompt, then press Enter. This command erases the factory test configuration if still present:

Brocade# erase startup-config

CAUTION

Use the erase startup-config command only for new systems. If you enter this command on a system you have already configured, the command erases the configuration. If you accidentally do erase the configuration on a configured system, enter the write memory command to save the running configuration to the startup-config file.

3. Access the configuration level of the CLI by entering the following command:

Brocade# configure terminalPrivileged EXEC Level

Brocade(config)#

Global CONFIG Level

4. Configure the IP addresses and mask addresses for the interfaces on the router.

Brocade(config)# int e 1/1/1

Brocade(config-if-e1000-2)# ip address 192.168.0.0 255.255.255.0

NOTE

You can use the syntax ip address ip-addr/mask-bitsif you know the subnet mask length. In the above example, you could enter ip address 192.168.0.0/24.

Syntax: enable [password]

Syntax: configure terminal

Syntax: [no] ip address ip-addrip-mask[secondary]
