Configuring the IP addresses
You must configure the Brocade VDX 8770-8 with a static IP address. DHCP is not supported on the
Brocade VDX 8770-8. The Brocade VDX 8770-8 supports both IPv4 and IPv6 format addresses.
Setting a static IP address
Complete the following steps to set a static IP address.
1. Log in to the switch using an account that has the admin role.
2. Enter global configuration mode using the configure terminal command.
3. Specify the chassis with the rbridge-id command.
switch(config)# rbridge-id 1
4. Use the chassis virtual-ip command to set the IP address for the chassis.
switch(config-rbridge-id 1)# chassis virtual-ip 10.20.236.132/20
5. Return to configuration mode by entering exit.
6. Use the ip address command to set the Ethernet IP address for the MMs.
If you are going to use an IPv4 IP address, enter the IP address in dotted decimal notation. You
should also enter a gateway address as well.
When you have assigned the IP and gateway addresses to management interface 1/1, you
should also assign IP and gateway addresses to management interface 1/2 if you have
installed a second MM.
switch(config)# interface Management 1/1
switch(config-Management-1/1)# no ip address dhcp
switch(config-Management-1/1)# ip address 10.24.85.81/20
switch(config-Management-1/1)# ip gateway-address 10.24.80.1
ATTENTION
The ip gateway-address command will not be available on the Brocade VDX 8770-8 if the Layer
3 or Advanced license is installed. In that case, use the following command sequence:
switch(config)# rbridge-id 1
switch(config-rbridge-id 1)# ip route 0.0.0.0/0 <default-gateway>
If you are going to use an IPv6 address, enter the network information in semicolon-separated
notation as prompted after the ipv6 address operand. You should also disable DHCP.
switch(config)# interface Management 1/1
switch(config-Management-1/1)# no ip address dhcp
switch(config-Management-1/1)# ipv6 address \
fd00:60:69bc:832:e61f:13ff:fe67:4b94/64
7. Return to privileged EXEC mode by entering exit.
switch(config)# exit
switch#
8. To display the configuration, use the show running-config interface Management command.
switch# show running-config interface Management 1/1
interface Management 1/1
no ip address dhcp
