• In a UNIX environment, enter the following string at the prompt:
tip /dev/ttyb -9600.
If ttyb is already in use, use ttya instead and enter the following string at the prompt:
tip /dev/ttya -9600
Setting the switch IP address
You can configure the Brocade 300 with a static IP address, or you can use a DHCP (Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol) server to set the IP address of the switch. DHCP is enabled by default. The
Brocade 300 supports both IPv4 and IPv6.
Using DHCP to set the IP address
When using DHCP, the Brocade 300 obtains its IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway
address from the DHCP server. The DHCP client can only connect to a DHCP server that is on the
same subnet as the switch. If your DHCP server is not on the same subnet as the Brocade 300, use a
static IP address.
Setting a static IP address
1. Log into the switch using the default password, which is password.
2. Use the ipaddrset command to set the Ethernet IP address.
If you are going to use an IPv4 IP address, enter the IP address in dotted decimal notation as
prompted.
Ethernet IP Address: [192.168.74.102]
If you are going to use an IPv6 address, enter the network information in semicolon-separated
notation as prompted.
switch:admin> ipaddrset -ipv6 --add 1080::8:800:200C:417A/64
IP address is being changed...Done.
3. Complete the rest of the network information as prompted.
Ethernet Subnetmask: [255.255.255.0]
Ethernet IP Address: [192.168.74.102]
Ethernet Subnetmask: [255.255.255.0]
4. Enter off to Disable DHCP when prompted.
DHCP [OFF]: off
