CEE switch support

• Brocade 8470 supports Layer 3 mode of operation. The external ports and LAGs can be in
None, Layer 2 and Layer 3 Interface mode. However, the internal ports can only be in the Layer
2 Interface mode.
• SetInstance of the interface mode on external ports to None and Layer 2 is supported.
NOTE
Support for setting of Layer 3 mode is not needed because adding of an IP address to an
ethernet port automatically puts the port in Layer 3 mode.
• SetInstance of an interface mode on LAGs to None and Layer 2 is supported.
• SetInstance of an OperationalEndPoint mode on external ports to access, trunk, and
converged mode is supported.
• SetInstance of an interface mode on internal ports is not supported. They are default to Layer
2 mode.
• Support for setting of Layer 3 mode is not required because adding of an IP address to a lag
automatically puts the lag in Layer 3 mode.
• Setting on the OperationalEndPoint mode on internal ports is not supported. They are
defaulted to a converged mode.
• The external ports are associated to PCSNetworkPort similar to those on the Brocade 8000
and FCOE10-24. However, the internal ports are not associated to PCSNetworkPort.
• The LANendpoints of external ports can be part of a LAG similar to those on the Brocade 8000
and FCOE10-24. However, the lanendpoints of internal ports cannot be part of a LAG.
• A management VLAN by default with VLANID = 4095 exists Brocade 8470.
• Creation and deletion of VLAN is not supported for Brocade 8470.
• The internal ports are part of this 4095 VLAN by default and this cannot be changed.
• The external ports cannot be added to this 4095 VLAN.
• The LANendpoints of external ports can be part of any other VLAN similar to those on the
Brocade 8000 and FCOE10-24. However, the LANendpoints of internal ports cannot be a part
of any other VLAN.
• The external and internal ports can be assigned a CEEACLPolicy.
• The external and internal ports can be assigned a CEEMap.
Support for Layer 3 features
The Brocade 8470 platform supports some of the basic Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4) features.
Brocade Network Advisor SMI Agent supports a subset of these as stated in this section.
Brocade Network Advisor SMI Agent supports the configuration of IP addresses on Physical
interfaces such as CEE port and LAG. One can assign a single primary IP address and up to 255
secondary IP addresses on a single interface. When an IP address is assigned to an interface, it
becomes a Layer 3 interface.
Data model
The following data model is supported. Figure 34 shows the classes and associations for discovery
and configuration of IPv4 addresses on CEE ports and LAGs.
