Basic system parameter configuration

Brocade devices are configured at the factory with default parameters that allow you to begin using the basic features of the system immediately. However, many of the advanced features such as VLANs or routing protocols for the device must first be enabled at the system (global) level before they can be configured. If you use the Command Line Interface (CLI) to configure system parameters, you can find these system level parameters at the Global CONFIG level of the CLI.

NOTE

Before assigning or modifying any router parameters, you must assign the IP subnet (interface) addresses for each port.

NOTE

For information about configuring IP addresses, DNS resolver, DHCP assist, and other IP-related parameters, refer to the Brocade ICX 6650 Switch Layer 3 Routing Configuration Guide.

NOTE

For information about the Syslog buffer and messages, refer to Appendix A, “Syslog messages”.

The procedures in this section describe how to configure the basic system parameters listed in Table 4.
