4. Use the chassis virtual-ip command to set the IP address for the chassis.
switch(config-rbridge-id 1)# chassis virtual-ip 10.20.236.132/20
5. Use the ip address command to set the Ethernet IP address for the MMs.
If you are going to use an IPv4 IP address, enter the IP address in dotted decimal notation. You should also
disable DHCP and enter a gateway address as well.
When you have assigned the IP and gateway addresses to management interface 1/1, you should also assgin IP
and gateway addresses to management interface 1/2 if you have installed a second MM.
switch(config)# interface Management 1/1
switch(config-Management-1/1)# no ip address dhcp
switch(config-Management-1/1)# ip address 10.24.85.81/20
switch(config-Management-1/1)# ip gateway-address 10.24.80.1
If you are going to use an IPv6 address, enter the network information in semicolon-separated notation as
prompted after the ipv6 address operand. You should also disable DHCP.
switch(config)# interface Management 1/1
switch(config-Management-1/1)# no ip address dhcp
switch(config-Management-1/1)# ipv6 address \
fd00:60:69bc:832:e61f:13ff:fe67:4b94/64
6. To display the configuration, use the show running-config interface Management command.
switch# show running-config interface Management 1/1
interface Management 1/1
no ip address dhcp
ip address 10.24.85.81/20
ip gateway-address 10.24.80.1

Logging off the serial console port and disconnecting the serial cable
You can use the serial port to monitor error messages through the serial connection. If the serial port is no longer
required, use the logout command to log out of the serial console, remove the serial cable, and replace the
protective plug in the serial port.
Establishing an Ethernet connection to the Brocade VDX 8770-4
After using a serial connection to configure the IP addresses for the Brocade VDX 8770-4, you can connect the active
MM to the local area network (LAN).
NOTE
Connecting the MMs to a private network is recommended.
By establishing an Ethernet connection, you can complete the Brocade VDX 8770-4 configuration using a serial
session, Telnet, or management application, such as Brocade Network Advisor.
NOTE
To protect the Ethernet port from damage, keep the cover on the port when not in use.
