Brocade FastIron SX Series Chassis Hardware Installation Guide - Manual (Page 87)

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 IP address and mask for the switch.
device(config)# ipv6 address 2001:DB8:12D:1300:240:D0FF:FE48:4000:1/64
NOTE
The above procedure shows how to configure an IPv6 address with a manually configured interface
ID as the system-wide address for the switch. You could also configure an IPv6 address with an
automatically computed EUI-64 interface ID as the system-wide address for the switch. A link-local
IPv6 address is also supported. For details, refer to the FastIron Ethernet Switch Layer 3
Configuration Guide.
Syntax: enable password
Syntax: configure terminal
Syntax: [no] ipv6address ipv6-prefix/prefix-length
You must specify the ipv6-prefix variable in hexadecimal using 16-bit values between colons as
documented in RFC 2373.
You must specify the prefix-length variable in decimal value. A slash mark (/) must follow the ipv6-
prefix variable and precede the prefix-length variable.
