Brocade FastIron SX Series Chassis Hardware Installation Guide - Manual (Page 85)

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.
Privileged EXEC Level.
device# configure terminal
Global CONFIG Level.
device(config)#
4. Configure the IPv4 address and mask for the switch.
device(config)# ip address 10.x.x.x 255.255.255.0
5. Set a default gateway address for the switch.
device(config)# ip default-gateway 10.x.x.x
NOTE
You do not need to assign a default gateway address for single subnet networks.
Syntax: enable [ password ]
Syntax: configure terminal
Syntax:[no] ip address ip-addr ip-mask
or
Syntax: [no] ip address ip-addr/ip-mask
Syntax: ip default-gateway ip-addr
IPv6 devices
Brocade IPv6 devices support the 128-bit addressing format, composed of 8 fields of 16-bit
hexadecimal values separated by colons (:). For example, 2001:DB8:0000:0200:002D:D0FF:FE48:4672
is an IPv6 address, which can also be expressed as 2001:DB8:0:200:2D:D0FF:FE48:4672 after
omitting the leading zeros.
Configuring IPv6 management interface while running Layer 3 software
Before attaching equipment to a Brocade router, 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 interfaces 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. Refer to the FastIron Configuration Guide for more information.
The following procedure shows how to add an IPv6 address and mask to a router port.
