Configuring IP parameters – Layer 3 Switches
Interface IP parameters – Layer 2 Switches
Table 5 lists the interface-level IP parameters for Layer 2 Switches.
Configuring IP parameters – Layer 3 Switches
The following sections describe how to configure IP parameters. Some parameters can be
configured globally while others can be configured on individual interfaces. Some parameters can
be configured globally and overridden for individual interfaces.
NOTE
This section describes how to configure IP parameters for Layer 3 Switches. For IP configuration
information for Layer 2 Switches, refer to
“Configuring IP parameters – Layer 2 Switches” on
page 88.
Configuring IP addresses
You can configure an IP address on the following types of Layer 3 Switch interfaces:
• Ethernet port
• Virtual routing interface (also called a Virtual Ethernet or “VE”)
• Loopback interface
By default, you can configure up to 24 IP addresses on each interface.
You can increase this amount to up to 128 IP subnet addresses per port by increasing the size of
the ip-subnet-port table.
Refer to the section “Displaying system parameter default values” in the Brocade ICX 6650
Platform and Layer 2 Switching Configuration Guide.
NOTE
Once you configure a virtual routing interface on a VLAN, you cannot configure Layer 3 interface
parameters on individual ports. Instead, you must configure the parameters on the virtual routing
interface itself.

DHCP
gateway
stamp You can configure a list of DHCP stamp addresses for a port.
When the port receives a DHCP/BootP Discovery packet from a
client, the port places the IP addresses in the gateway list into
the packet Gateway field. None configured page 94
